A civil servant has been sacked for gross misconduct after concerns were raised over his ‘odd’ behaviour in his job dealing with passport applications. Among other instances, the man called his boss’s teenage daughter ‘peng’.
A ‘stalkery’ civil servant called a female colleague a ‘dark horse’ after he spotted she had pierced nipples by zooming in on her Instagram, an employment tribunal heard.
The fired passport office worker had also called his boss’s teenage daughter ‘peng’ – and left a 19-year-old woman feeling like ‘I have been watched for god knows how long’. Known as ‘C’, the man was sacked for gross misconduct after concerns were raised over his ‘odd’ behaviour in his job dealing with passport applications.for unfair dismissal and race discrimination, arguing the allegations had been ‘vexatious and malicious’.
But his claims have now been thrown out, as a judge ruled his ‘jokey laddishness’ had devolved into unwanted conduct. The Newcastle tribunal heard how in March 2021 two employees complained about their co-worker’s ‘unsettling’ manner, especially over social media.They exchanged messages and the student said he initially ‘seemed friendly’, but she then became ‘concerned’.
