I don't know what the unfair dismissal laws are in HK if indeed we have any. (I suspect we don't) Our Union Sec will know. Don't forget that this farce is still under the D&G and that you can't be sacked straight away while on sick leave.
If this officer does get sacked in the end then we should all show some guts and tell DT this is wrong. The punishment far outweighs the crime and it's time giant ego's took a back seat.
If this has no effect, and I suspect with the egotistical maniac involved it won't, this matter should be broadcast all over HK via the newspapers so that the shareholders know what sort of person leads the company. It's time people asked these questions; What was behind the incident and what was this manager doing in the bar at that time of night. Doesn't he have work to do the next day? Sorry, but it's not acceptable for the senior person concerned to act in the manner he has all thing's considered.
Hand grenades are a bit over the top.... rocks will do.
