Question juridique clé
Whether the dismissal was abusive under employment law
Solution extraite
Yes. The dismissal was abusive because of the way it was handled, the shifting and unfounded reasons invoked, and the employer's attempt to rid itself of the employee for its own convenience.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court upheld the cantonal court's appreciation of the evidence: the employer's stated grievances were not proven, the sequence of letters and reactions showed a pretextual termination strategy, and the circumstances indicated a purely self-interested dismissal.
