A man who had worked in the company for nine years was fired by the company because he had entered the women's toilet for only ten seconds.
According to the relevant ** report:
At a toy company in Zhongshan, Guangdong, an employee named Zhang who accidentally entered the women's toilet due to a moment of negligence, but soon returned to the men's toilet. However, the company dismissed him on this ground and charged him with violating Article 4 of the factory rules"Being vexatious and entering an area that is not related to the toilet".The decision to expel him was made for this reason.
Zhang felt very wronged by this, he thought that he had diarrhea at the time, he was too anxious, and he accidentally entered the women's toilet without paying attention, and the time did not exceed ten seconds. He believed that the company had terminated the labor contract illegally, so he applied for labor arbitration and claimed 48,600 yuan from the company.
However, the arbitration commission rejected his claim, and he was dissatisfied and sued the court. The court held that Zhang had been in the company for nearly nine years, and even if there were physiological reasons, the possibility of going to the wrong toilet was very small, and the reasons he described did not conform to common sense, there was subjective malice, which constituted an infringement on the privacy of female employees and violated public order and good customs.
In the end, the court did not support his claim.
Regarding this matter, netizens naturally have mixed opinions on this, which can be roughly divided into two factions:
Some people think that men have been married for many years but can't distinguish between men's and women's toilets, how can normal people make a mistake in a short period of time?
For example: walk in for 4 seconds, be stunned for 2 seconds, come out for 4 seconds, what is enough? Besides, if you really have this kind of fetish, can you wait 9 years for it to happen? ”
It is very clear that the court has to look at the evidence in the judgment of the case, and Zhang himself has no strong evidence to support his claim, so he just said "10 seconds"? I've been in the company for 4 years, and I haven't missed the toilet even if I'm in a hurry, do you know muscle memory? You don't need to look at where you go, you subconsciously walk according to your past habits. ”
Some people think that the company is too impersonal, and employees should not be fired if they have diarrhea and hurriedly go to the wrong toilet.
For example: Isn't this normal, our company often has female employees who go to the wrong toilet, do they also need to be fired? I bumped into two female colleagues who rushed in and scared me, should I call the police? ”
Nine years, stunned once, isn't it normal? ”
In this matter, the current ** is in polarization, but from the official characterization, the man has already lost, and then I don't know if the company will give some comfort because of the fermentation of **.
In short, I personally think that since this incident has triggered a public discussion on the company's management and employee treatment, I still hope that the company can pay more attention to the rights and mental health of other employees in the future, and avoid excessive punishment for a small mistake. (Because he signed the letter of consent to the punishment himself, I personally feel that it is useless to appeal with a high probability).
