I don’t really see how this is a story.
No matter how big your ego as a manager or how egregious the allegation, you cannot fire people on the spot, particularly if they have 2 years service.
You MUST conduct an investigation and a full disciplinary process including an appeal. Every, single, time.
If you don’t, this is what happens.

Because you’re not in Poland? Christ…
Sounds like two separate horrors here that unfortunately benefitted the nasty woman. She’s obviously a piece of work.. but the company also fucked up by not following the correct dismissal procedures and – like it or not – that’s also a big ‘no no’.
TLDR: Woman who is a racist bitch gets money because company fired her without following the correct process.

I am Polish. Two points from me.
1. It is not OK to say that in Poland.
2. You are not in Poland.
Anyway, it’s a daily mail article, I would take it with a grain of salt.
