When Thomas Inc. dismissed Jim, his supervisor told him the reason was that he did not meet performance standards. The supervisor assumed that would prevent Jim from claiming he had been dismissed unjustly. What is the main flaw in the supervisor's assumption?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The main flaw in the supervisor's assumption is that people who sue for unjust dismissal usually claim the real reason for the dismissal differs from what the employer said. Therefore, simply stating that Jim was dismissed for not meeting performance standards may not prevent him from claiming the dismissal was unjust.
