一名墨尔本男子因拒绝每周三天返回办公室而失业, A Melbourne man lost his job for refusing to return to the office three days a week, and a labor tribunal upheld the dismissal.

2025年6月,一名墨尔本男子Richard Johnson因拒绝每周三天返回办公室,被软件公司PaperCut公司合法解雇,这是2023年更新的一项政策的要求。 A Melbourne man, Richard Johnson, was lawfully dismissed by software company PaperCut in June 2025 for refusing to return to the office three days a week, a requirement under a policy updated in 2023. 公平工作委员会维持终止合同,认为公司的政策得到明确传达,受到审判,而且没有违反Johnson的合同,尽管他声称允许远程工作。 The Fair Work Commission upheld the termination, finding the company’s policy was clearly communicated, had been trialed, and did not breach Johnson’s contract, despite his claim that remote work was permitted. 该案反映了在返回办公室任务与灵活工作协议之间,工作场所持续紧张。 The case reflects ongoing workplace tensions over return-to-office mandates versus flexible work agreements.
