An employee of a public institution who had been dismissed for workplace harassment and sexual harassment filed a lawsuit claiming that the measures were excessive, but lost.



The 11th Civil Division of the Ulsan District Court (Judge Jeong Jae-woo) announced today (27th) that Mr. A's lawsuit against a public company for 'confirmation of invalidity of dismissal' had been dismissed.



Mr. A, who was an employee of a public company, was fired in 2020 for sexually harassing or harassing his co-workers.



At the time, Mr. A asked a question that would feel sexually humiliating to Mr. B, a same-sex employee, who was a long time junior, swearing at Mr. B if he refused to answer. I did.



He has even criticized Mr. B badly or said overbearingly for his business dealings.



In addition, he publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Mr. C, who is younger than him, as a superior, and created a group messenger room except for Mr. C to share work, effectively ostracizing Mr. C.



The court said, "Even though the accused has been educated on sexual harassment and violence, he is highly likely to be criticized for continuing to engage in problematic behavior." I did.
