Net Porn addict claims unfair dismissal

oneweb

From TheRegister:

A German man fired for running up a €10,000 bill surfing porn at work claims he was treated unfairly because his employers failed into account his addiction to Net porn before giving him the boot.

The unnamed former civil servant claims unfair dismissal against the German state of Lower Saxony.

"I am an addict and as such am unaccountable for my actions," he told the court yesterday. "I need therapy and understanding, not dismissal from my job."

The case continues. ®

God bless civil servant for turning a sacking offence into a psycxhological condition. He/She'll probably get his/her job back with full pay and promotion!:rolleyes:

I'd be disgusted if I had to work with someone who wasted the company's time and money GETTING "free" porn.

Nice one, can I claim I'm addicted to bone idle laziness?

EVERYBODY bites the hand that feeds em, in some way.

It's like a form of independance. It's like taking a pen from work, you think it's bad, but your boss can give himself a raise, and takes more than just pens, that is if you're not a Boss???

Anybody in work who does not surf web cos it's 'not work related', (not talkin bout porn here), is usually a bit slow, can't think for themselves, would hang ye in a second, and generally not liked by work mates, So there!!!!


I say, "BITE THE HAND,AND BITE IT WELL".

You'd surf the web for most of the day (not for porn of course) If you've had some of the soul destroying boring jobs that I've had for Summer.
