Honda slacker finally gets fired

June 27, 2008 · By

The Supreme Court of Canada squashed a half-million dollar punitive damages awarded by a lower court to a lazy employee upon the Honda company. He claimed to have chronic fatigue syndrome. Honda fired him and he sued for wrongful dismissal.

I like this final decision but I am still disturbed. What astonishes me the most is the fact that two separate groups of extremely highly-paid arbitrators — supreme court justices — can arrive at completely opposite rulings over such a trivial dispute all on the public dime.

    I’m tired of working for a living too, but if we all get millions to sit around and do nothing, we’re gonna end up with a ‘situation’.
