I'm not sure exactely. It was nothing major, just silly little un-necessary comments.
He has been doing it constantly to my colleague though and my colleague just ignored it until he got fed up of it and complained. That was his first warning which went straight to written warning. Then a couple of weeks ago he made another about his dad, which resulted in being sacked.
The company has evidence he's done it because he admitted it in an e-mail to my colleague apologising.
Well, where I work at I usualy joke a lot with all of my barmates, most of the comments are sexual, sexist if you are a feminist (me to my manager: you are sending two women to empty the glass bin
) but they are all done in a fun way and to people that I know they will not be offended by it.
There are a few people in the bar that don't like the way I joke, so I simply don't get too friendly with them, if the guy was offended by the comment his coaleague made directly towards him and told him that what he's doing is not cool, but he cept on doing it, then perhaps the sacking could be just.

N***** is a very awkward one as a a lot of younger black people refer to themselves or each other by it but it usually deemed offensive if used by a white person
Not just black people, my housmates constanly reffer to me as their *****, plus I can call you honkey, ***** cant

If it's an innocent mistake, it's easier to do it again than it is with a diliberate mistake.
Perhaps the colleague felt that after he apologised that things were fine again.
But that's the thing dude, if his comments targeted specificaly the person who complained, and the guy kept on making the same comments, it must be his fault, surely?
