"A French court has ruled that companies can't fire their workers for failing to be sufficiently "fun."
The ruling comes after a man, referred to as Mr T, was fired from the Paris consultancy firm Cubik Partners in 2015 for refusing to participate in after-work drinks and team-building activities.
According to the court documents, Mr T joined the firm in February 2011 and was promoted in 2014, but was fired a year later in March 2015 for "professional incompetence" — specifically his refusal to adhere to the company's "fun" values. Cubik Partners also said Mr T was difficult to work with and a poor listener.
According to the Court of Cassation, the company's "fun" values included regular obligatory social events that culminated in "excessive alcoholism encouraged by colleagues who made very large quantities of alcohol available," as well as "practices pushed by colleagues involving promiscuity, bullying and incitement to various excesses.""
