A viral online video has stirred discussions as it showcases the abrupt termination of a young woman from her position at a prestigious UK company, Harrods, even before she commenced her initial shift.
The lady, identified as Akorede and recognized on TikTok as @korrxss, revealed that she received the notice of termination before having the opportunity to begin her first day at work.
Interestingly, prior to the viral video depicting her dismissal, she had gained attention with an earlier video where she expressed excitement about her job at the renowned UK-based luxury department store.
In that first video, she suggested that her social class has shot up because of her new employment, stating at one point:
“I’m dealing with the richest of the rich, who are you dealing with [giggles]?”

Lmk if u want tips on how to get innnn 🥰🥰🤗
But in the second video, her story changes. Sounding disappointed, she told her followers on TikTok that she didn’t even do her first shift at Harrods before she got fired for going on social media.
Akorede wondered who may have sent the footage to the employer after she was fired. She gave the situation further thought and concluded that it taught her an important lesson to avoid posting pleasant news on the internet.
“I got fired! Before I even did my first shift, I got fired. Someone must have sent the video ‘cos I don’t know how they must have found it. I took that video after I attended my induction; I’ve not even attended my first shift.
“That was really sad. I learnt a really valuable lesson; don’t ever tell good news to people or the internet, keep it to yourself. Upon reflection, that was kind of a s*i*ty video; I was just joking and was just excited,” she said in part.
