Question juridique clé
Whether the employer's dismissal was abusive under the Employment Code
Solution extraite
Yes. The employer used a hurtful, opaque and escalating approach that provoked the employee and made the dismissal abusive.

The supervisors acted in a needlessly humiliating and underhand manner, repeatedly exposing the employee to embarrassment and confrontation, and then relying on the resulting outbursts to terminate employment. Such conduct violated the duty to respect and protect personality and fell within abusive dismissal principles.
