In a win for workplace dignity, one of France’s highest courts recently suggested that businesses cannot force their employees to participate in office parties and other supposedly enjoyable activities.

Monsieur T. joined Cubik Partners in 2011, as a senior consultant, and was promoted to director before being fired, in March of 2015. According to a lower court, a dismissal letter criticized his tepid attitude toward the company’s “fun & pro” ethos along with other failings, including “his sometimes brittle and demotivating tone vis-à-vis his subordinates and his inability to accept the point of view of others.

Through a lawyer, Cubik Partners denied these allegations and said that Monsieur T. had been fired for “professional incompetence,” not because he refused to take part in “a so-calledculture.” The lawyer also specified that the firm’s “fun & pro” values mainly referred to its type of management based on feedback and its work in small teams. The high court referred the case back to an appeals court and it is ongoing.
