Angry at the boss?
That can never be completely avoided.
However, you shouldn't say everything you think - otherwise it can quickly cost the job.
"I tell you something will happen soon"
A city accountant had had such a quarrel with his superior that he told his colleague about it and threatened: “I'm going to throw this little bug out of the window.
I no longer put up with this.
I'm about to run amok.
I tell you something will happen soon.
He lives dangerously, very dangerously. "
The boss found out about it and didn't want to wait that long.
He gave the man notice without notice because of the threat he had made.
The labor court in Siegburg considered the termination without notice to be effective (Ref .: 5 Ca 254/21).
Both the threat of wanting to throw the superior out of the window and the announced rampage cannot be expected of the employer, said the judges.
After questioning the colleague as a witness, it can also be assumed that the plaintiff was taking his threat absolutely seriously.
A previous warning is not necessary.
The accused can appeal the judgment at the regional labor court in Cologne.
