Speaking of ridiculous lawsuits, here's a good one out of Dublin.
A large company hired a man on as CEO, but after 3 years, realized all the responsibilities he had could, and in many cases, already were, being done by other people. So, him being redundant and all, he was sacked. But not in the 'clear out your office and get the hell out way.' He was informed that he was being made redundant (fired), however, then company would continue to pay him for a period of 12 months at his full salary of 250,000euro AND he would retain all the benefits (medical, dental, car, etc) for that 12 month period. And he's taking THEM to court.
His reason?
He figures he should be given TWO YEARS notice.
Can you imagine? 'Well, Bob, we don't really need you anymore, but we're going to pay you 250K over the next year to do sweet eff-all.'
'That's not fair, George! I deserve to be paid half a million euro over the next two years to sit on my oversized posterior.'
WTF?
And he's only 44. That means at least another 21 working years where he could get a similar, or superior salary. Some people...
