A guy in France has won a court case against his former employer. The court rule that he couldn’t be fired for not being “fun” (wording of the court). The Company, Cubik Partners” fired him in 2015. They stated that he wasn’t participating in after-hours team building exercises. The exercises apparently included lots of drinking and sexual debauchery. The court also found that the company’s team building sessions had “excessive alcoholism encouraged by colleagues who made very large quantities of alcohol available,” and “practices pushed by colleagues involving promiscuity, bullying and incitement to various excesses.” The court ruled that the guy be awarded about half a million dollars.
I wanted to give an example of one of the more embarrassing things I’ve had to go through at work. Being in radio, there are so many. However, about 17 years ago I lost a bet with a profession wrestler on air. I was really out of shape at the time. I only bring that up because part of the deal involved my wearing a pink wrestling singlet that showed a lot of my body. The I had to participate in a pro wrestling match with guys twice my size. It was covered by multiple tv stations in Kansas City.
