Shop worker whose boss said ‘I’m sure you have unfair dismissals case mapped out in your head’ wins unfair dismissal case

1. The shop worker doesn’t come off great here either, I’d certainly have second thoughts about employing him after reading that…

2. Employee sounds like a raging cunt and a nightmare person to work with.

3. I don’t get he didn’t just get the PUP. Weird case.

4. One of the rare cases where the employee is a cunt.

5. Sounds like they didn’t get on before the pandemic. Unusual to get mileage to drive from home to work, sounds like it was part of salary package designed to avoid income tax.

   Neither of them come off well but the employer doesn’t sound like employer of the year at all and likely taking his business losses out on the staff as is the Irish way.

6. *Prior to the stabbing incident, the victim was heard shouting

   *”What are you gonna do? STAB ME?!?!”*

7. Bellends, both

8. “what are you gonna do stab me” reported last words of stabbing victim.

9. I’d say the milage thing was an agreement to give a raise or benefit in kind instead of a taxable salary boost.
   In which case, neither would probably let the cat out of the bag as to the real set up.

   I mean, either that or an entitled prick without any sense of reality.

10. Neither party come out of this looking good .
    The employee probably can forget about a job in tile shop/building supplies again.

    For the employer it’s a cheap €3400 to be rid of that lad.

12. Can we abolish the WRC? Who wants this nonsense?

13. If the employer had given him proper notice there’d have been no case to answer here.

    I think that was reflected in the small settlement.

14. Funny headline but the employee does seem like a gobshite. Obviously employers should properly follow procedures, but honestly would not want this lad working for me if I was running a business.

15. Well the good thing is that any potential employer who searches this guy’s name will see this nonsense. The shop owner made a lot of mistakes but it sounds like this guy was a nightmare employee, piling on the pressure on a small business owner in the middle of a global pandemic. This employee sounds like a “I know me rites” absolute arsehole

16. Mileage allowance? How many miles is it to get out of bed and behind a desk at home in the morning? Dope.

17. So, the employee knows his rights, actually wins the case because he is in the right, and ye lot paint him as the bad guy?

18. *What are you going to do, stab me?*
    – Man who got stabbed.

19. Congratulations, you’ve earned yourself the guts of 4,000 euro and made yourself entirely unemployable

20. sounds like the company got off lightly with that payment. He does not sound like the kind of person you want working for you.
