| Telling lies at your job | ||||||
|
The judge heard the story of the employer. The
employer declared that he wouldn't request the termination of the labour
contract if the employee would have admitted what he did. If the employee
wouldn't have told the lies, the employer would not fire the employee.
In fact, what the employee did wasn't a ground for firing the employee
but the fact that the employee lied about what he did was enough reason
for terminating the contract.

The judge decided differently. The judge found that telling lies is not accepted by society, but also - scientific proof existed - everybody is lying now and then. If you couldn't trust somebody because he or she is telling now and then a lie, you couldn't trust anyone. That couldn't be a reason for not trusting someone. The employee should be trusted, even if he or she would tell a lie now and then.

After all, the employee worked very well in the firm for 12 years. Only one and a half years later he would enjoy his pension. The judge decided that there weren't enough grounds to fire the employee just for telling a lie. David Nauta LL.M. for Guapa Legal 2005 |
