An employee wasn't "backed into a corner" when an employer responded to his workplace complaints with underperformance allegations, the Fair Work Commission has ruled in a constructive dismissal dispute.

An employee who tried to defend an "offensive" social media post as "intellectual freedom" has failed to prove he exercised his right in accordance with the "highest ethical, professional and legal standards".

Asking an employee who was absent on stress leave when he intended to return to work was a "suitable" enquiry and didn't force him to resign, the Fair Work Commission has found.

An employee who called his colleague a "fat exploiter of foreigners" was fairly dismissed despite a "clearly deficient" termination process, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.

An employee who "sought not to prolong the unpalatable dance of termination" and sent a frustrated text to her employer has been cleared to pursue her general protections claim.

An employee who claimed she "resisted a male dominated and 'boys club' culture" for years wasn't forced to resign after her employer found a request to "get the coffees" didn't amount to gender-based discrimination, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.
