A man who was fired by a Paris-based consulting firm for failing to be 'fun' and participate in work events that involved 'excessive alcoholism' and 'promiscuity' was wrongfully dismissed, France's highest court has ruled.

A man who was fired by a Paris-based consulting firm for failing to be"fun" and participate in work events that involved"excessive alcoholism" and"promiscuity" was wrongfully dismissed, France's highest court has ruled.

The terminated worker, a senior consultant identified as Mr. T, was fired in 2015 for what his employer, consulting firm Cubik Partners, called"professional incompetence" after he refused to participate in social activities with his colleagues. that the employee could not be terminated for his failure to be"fun" by participating in seminars and weekend excursions that often involved"excessive alcoholism," bullying and promiscuity.

The Court of Cassation ruled that Mr. T was entitled to"freedom of expression" if that meant sitting on the sidelines while his colleagues socialized with one another. The man's refusal to fraternize with his colleagues is a"fundamental freedom" under labor and human rights laws, according to the court.

The employee claimed colleagues engaged in"humiliating" and"intrusive" acts such as"mock sexual acts" and that he was once forced to share a bed with a colleague during a retreat.
