Too easy.

Next time go from a discussion about recipes for elderberry cordial to
slagging off the RMT in one sentence.

I know you can do it.


Apart from anything else, the former member of staff wasn't even an RMT
member and a cursory glance through the RMT website (I can't see
anything else as I'm not a member either) suggests they plan to do nothing.

But then why let the facts get in the way of a good rant?


How long had this guy been working for TfL?

Go quietly, and you'll get a handsome payoff, I guess.


So you'd think, but according to last night's Standard he's only getting a
week's money! Must mean something.

Umm, the article you link to doesn't say he was fired, it says he
resigned voluntarily "for personal reasons".


"[He] has advised London Underground that he wishes to resign for
personal reasons.

"He has informed us he would like to apologise for the incident
involving a passenger at Holborn Tube station on Thursday 15 October
and hopes that his actions have not detracted from the professional
job done by hundreds of London Underground staff every day.

"As we made clear from the moment this incident was brought to our
attention this kind of behaviour is totally unacceptable..."

The phraseology leaves me in very little doubt as to what actually
happened!

More likely go quietly, and your reference will say you resigned rather
than were sacked.
