A MAN has won the right to be boring after being sacked for not going to work drinks.
Known only as Mr T, the ex-director won thousands in compensation after being sacked by his French employers for not taking part in the “fun” office environment.

Consulting business Cubik Partners fired Mr T for being “insufficient professionally” because he refused to take part in “team building” activities with colleagues.
A Paris court ruled in Mr T’s favour this month after he took his former employer to trial.
Court documents revealed the worker was asked to attending social activities out-of-hours, including “weekend drinks”.
Mr T’s defence said this the company’s boozy culture “frequently to excessive alcoholism encouraged by colleagues who made available very large quantities of alcohol, and practices pushed by colleagues incitement to various excesses”.
The wronged worker – who joined in 2011 and become a director in 2014 before his dismissal a year later – said he had a right to refuse to take part.
