French Man Fired For Not Being 'Fun' at Work Wins Lawsuit Against Company

An anonymous French man has won a legal lawsuit against his former company that fired him for “being boring” at the workplace. The case in question was lodged against Cubik Partners, a management consultancy, who claim to be using a ‘fun’ approach when it comes to team-building activities that included encouraging its staff members to gather in pubs after work hours. According to The Telegraph, Mr. T, the man who has chosen to remain anonymous, won the legal right to be boring at work, as a court in Paris ruled against his employer, deeming the agency wrong to fire him merely for not going out with colleagues. The court in its ruling said that the company was not allowed to make Mr. T ‘forcibly participate’ in seminars and end-of-week drinks frequently.
