The WRC recommended that a restaurant take no further action on a chef’s grievances after a dispute on Christmas Eve 2021. The recommendation was dated 3 November 2023. The chef had gone home after an outburst, but the adjudication officer found he was not suspended and faced no disciplinary investigation or sanction. The chef said he was upset by the incident and felt unappreciated after years of work. The restaurant said he had been shouting and aggressive. The officer found that sending him home did not meet the definition of bullying and considered it reasonable for him to move on to another job after resigning.
