Employment Tribunal Rules Calling Boss 'Dickhead' Not Automatically Sackable Offense
By
robtherobber
Right out the toaster. Reliable, with some real depth.
Summary
An employment tribunal ruled that calling a boss a "dickhead" is not necessarily a sackable offense, awarding office manager Kerrie Herbert nearly £30,000 in compensation after she was unfairly dismissed from her scaffolding and brickwork company job. The tribunal found the company did not act reasonably in dismissing her immediately during a heated argument.
