Alright, sometimes we might say a person's decision is right or wrong even without knowing the whole story, just like what OP is sharing. Some might say it was the right call, while others firmly disagree. If we were on the employee's side, we would take responsibility for our workers; we know how to appreciate them and when it's time to let someone go. It's not that easy to decide to fire someone over a simple issue but what I really think that happened could be more complicated than it seems, leading to firing him. Well, the court has made its decision, which means this is the final. So, even though it hurts, we must accept it.
Yeah, the people that make those decisions are usually well rounded human beings and take a lot of things into consideration to make their decisions.
We might not know all the specific details of the case, so we can only speculate about what happened.
Also the headlines usually try to be the most eye catching as possible so maybe there is some nuance that we are not getting.
That's exactly it. It can be expressed in the words "the devil is in the details".
In principle, we can only talk in general terms about the motives of a person's behavior, about his passion for gambling, about his diligence at work, and so on. And on the other hand, we can also talk about the motives of an employer who evaluates an employee and makes decisions about his dismissal or, conversely, about a bonus and promotion of some employee. However, in this already quite large topic, you all give a lot of arguments to motivate such actions.
And at the same time, we should not forget that much is fair, but dismissal against one's own will and deprivation of an employee's source of income is always the strongest stress for a person. And his subsequent actions are often partly due to this and this stress.
