A man was fired from his company for a unique reason. He was unilaterally dismissed because he was considered boring. The employee certainly didn't accept being treated unprofessionally. He then tried to get his former company to pay for their mistakes. Cubik Partners, a management consulting firm, apparently wants all employees to be close friends. The company is said to encourage its employees to build teamwork by spending frequent time together. When one employee refused to participate, the France-based firm terminated the employment relationship.[1]

The man, identified as Mr. T, was fired in 2015. At the time, he frequently refused to participate in seminars and weekend drinking events. Mr. T apparently annoyed his superiors and colleagues by frequently missing these events, finding them boring. Mr. T was dissatisfied with this decision and filed a lawsuit against his former company. He felt entitled to be critical and rejected the company's policy of forcing him to participate in various events outside of work hours. Mr. T also refused to attend office events because they would require him to share a bed with a coworker.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
