Worker sacked after Hitler meme wins payout

A BP refinery worker in Australia who was sacked for parodying the company via a well-known Hitler meme has been awarded a $200,000 payout.

He was sacked by the company. However, after a two-year legal battle, he won an unfair dismissal case and returned to work.The meme uses a dramatic scene in Downfall - in which Hitler angrily confronts his generals in his bunker - and replaces the subtitles with alternative dialogue as a joke.BP had said it was"highly offensive and inappropriate" and dismissed Mr Tracey. The refinery worker first took his case to a tribunal, arguing unfair dismissal, but lost.

The federal court ruled it was unreasonable to say the meme had likened BP managers to Nazis and Mr Tracey was allowed to return to work. BP had argued that Mr Tracey should be paid $150,000, less than what he would have earned if he had not been dismissed., which BP said was misconduct, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.The Fair Work Commission said there was no evidence to argue that Mr Tracey had not searched for employment.

Okay but can we watch the video

I feel all warm and fuzzy now

Got one over on BP well done, it was only a joke ffs!

You can use that clip for absolutely anything. If in doubt I will do one about constipation.

The payout was ridiculous and don’t know enough about context to judge any further. My judgement is final and I ain’t making one.

Sacking your employees over dank memes...

BP... Hopeless as ever!

I bet he did Nazi that coming.

Hahahahahaha

Ridiculous.

These clips are used successfully for dozens of voice over comic satires

Man got sacked for using a dead meme Gd bless

Hopefully the bloke sacked for saying WhiteLivesMatter sues too.
