| In a delicious piece of irony, Apprentice winner Stella English is taking Lord Sugar to the tribunal, claiming constructive dismissal. She said her boss Bordan Tkachuk looked at her with "contempt" on her first day and said: "There is no job." According to her evidence, she was just an overpaid lackey, and the promised top job with Shugsy that she'd dreamed of was actually just smoke and mirrors.

The case continues, but I've withdrawn my application for the next series.

| I can think of one or two things Stella could do for me. Bordan lacks vision is all.

Problem is people can often struggle to move on so whilst in the end they may get justice the rest of their life is in a state of flux.

This is where my "Rule of Life #20" comes into play - Don't feed the lawyers.
Seriously, just walk away, shoite happens, so you won a TV show where you were promised one years employment at £100,000 but you had to do nothing at all for the money except file some letters - have a look at the queue at the door as you leave the building, all of those people are waiting for your £100k filing job you silly b1tch.
Having earned £82,000 at an investment bank before she went on the telly it shoudln't be too hard for her to climb back on the horse and think of her easy 12 months at Mr Sugar's TV Production Company's expense.

In this case I would agree but there are numerous other people in a position where an unfair dismissal tribunal will prevent them moving on. For it to drag on two years is bonkers

| Having only watched a couple of these programmes, my question is 'would you employ ANY of these chancers in your company'. They all seem to be ego maniacs with very little REAL talent and are just seeking there 15 minutes.

Sadly HR departments seem to have adopted this model for their graduate recruitment programmes with the result that they end up with a bunch of new recruits whose sole ambition is to get noticed and rise to the top without ever getting their hands dirty. They seem to have forgotten that they still need someone to crunch numbers and analyse data.

| I don't understand why she accepted the job in the first place, without knowing what her duties and responsibilities would be. Why did she even enter the interview process without knowing what she would be doing should she be successful and get the job?
Presumably when Lord Sugar said "your hired" she said "to do what exactly?" before accepting.

Well, it wasn't exactly like that, it was like a competition thingy on the telly, and she won.

Its only around 11 months from the time she ended her employment.

I can think of 100,000 of them.

To make a difference at Viglen, all the candidates knew where the job would be before they got to the final stages (the TV shows) Bordan's quote of "doesn't do very much" sums up the claimant very well.

Nail on the head there.
I too, usually have better things to do than to watch this tedious parade of puffed-up blame-mongers.
There was one straightforward contestant some years back who could manage people, actually got stuff done and could sell.
She didn't win.

I guess Lord Sugar may be right when he says she seems interested in a career in the media and is hankering publicity? No one in the right mind would have given up a reasonably well paid job in an investment bank for a £100,000 game show prize. By taking this sort of action she will be unemployable in the "real world" so she has probably consigned herself to the media, self-employment, entrepreneurship or...... politics!

she was apparently already earning £82,000 in an investment bank, so the money cant have been that big a factor for her.

So what did she expect to do as an investment banker at a computer company?
She was hopeless from the day she started.

Probably flogging her guts out, working long hours, possibly unsocial hours being as it was a Japanese bank, and watching others in her age group burn themselves out within five years and end up looking like blond old hags - £100k for twelve months of doing fekk-all must have seemed a sweet temptation and then as Sugar suggests she found that fame didn't come with the fortune, twelve months is not a very long time and £100k won't last that long when you're only 34.
Theres a suggestion in todays evidence in court that the finalists did a four month probabtion at Viglen before the winner was announced - presumably thats long enough to realise what the prize job entails ?
