Sky News host Caleb Bond blasts the dismissal of an employee over a joke about a manager's lengthy emails, warning the threshold for workplace harassment has become absurdly low. “Imagine being so precious as a boss that you decide that someone needs to go because they cracked a joke about your long emails,” “One of the things you have to accept when you are in a manager position is some of the people that are working for you won’t particularly like you and some of them will be more vocal about that than others, but that’s just [part of the territory. “I think it's rather precious to then turn around as this particular boss than did … and saying that you know he felt harassed and bullied by it. “If that’s going to be the threshold for harassment and bullying then we have a problem. “The guy has a bit of fun, and then they sack him for it.”
