Gordon Ramsay has been caught fibbing about being bollocked by his mother for his foul-mouthed tirade at Tracy Grimshaw. But Ramsay, it seems, is not the only chef confronted with personal hardship in recent times… and it might all be attributable to telling fibs!

We reported in early May that the partnership at mid-tier law firm Maddocks was making the respectable decision to take a cut in profits to save jobs. However, doubt has been cast on this philanthropic move by the following allegation

Get the f### out of the kitchen!

…Many support staff have been whittled down by Maddocks through redundancies, including the chef from the Melbourne office a few months ago…

The cook… gone! If this rumour is true, one wonders whether Maddocks can justifiably continue to publish ambit claims about itself as an employer on its website.

Maddocks is a great place to build your career in legal services. We are a rapidly growing mid-sized firm … We offer …non-legal professionals … opportunities to be part of our success… Our people are our greatest asset and we invest heavily in attracting and retaining the best at Maddocks… with the depth of resources we provide, your career is nurtured and developed at every stage.

Hmmm… and why is a catering position advertised on the site? Not another dodgey redundancy, we hope!
