Keystone / Stringer via Getty ImagesImagine being good at your job, but then you're called into the bosses office, only to be told that you're being let go! This was the case for a man in France. He's being referred to as Mr. T in the legal documents. Mr. T was let go from the company he worked for, Cubik Partners in Paris, back in 2015!
Mr. T was fired because he wasn't "Fun enough". Not because he messed up at his job or broke the rules. He simply just wasn't fun. The company filed his firing as "Professional incompetence" but was told specifically he wasn't going along with the "fun" culture of the building. Mr. T hired a lawyer who discovered that "Excessive alcoholism was encouraged by colleagues who made very large quantities of alcohol available" and "practices pushes by colleagues involved promiscuity, bullying and incitement to various excesses."
He was awarded a sum of about $3,100 for the damages, but he has a lot more money coming his way! They're saying over six figures because of a judge ruling. The legal battle that has gone on for 7 years has finally come to an end and Mr. T will be getting about $500,000!
