Schriftelijke waarschuwing
Nog geen jaar later krijgt de vrouw na opnieuw een incident een officiële schriftelijke waarschuwing van het bedrijf. Daarin geeft het metaalbedrijf aan dat scheldpartijen en intimiderende uitspraken
Discrimination against women will no longer be tolerated.
In March 2023, the woman received an official written warning following a new incident. In that letter, the employer stated that they would no longer tolerate 'insults' and 'threatening and intimidating statements'.
Her gossip and undermining of executives would no longer be accepted by the company.

However, during a team meeting in December, things go wrong again. During this meeting, according to her employer, the woman speaks in a denigrating and disrespectful manner about colleagues and supervisors.
Ook uit ze felle kritiek op de directie. Als de vrouw vervolgens door haar werkgever tijdens een gesprek opnieuw wordt aangesproken op haar gedrag, toont zij geen berouw.
This is for the company the drop that overflows the bucket. It has been decided to suspend the employee with continued payment of her salary.

Mediator
Three months later, another external mediator is engaged for a mediation attempt, but this yields no results.
The metal company then approaches the cantonal judge to request the dissolution of the employment contract due to blameworthy conduct and a disturbed working relationship.
The company believes that the woman has created an unsafe work environment for her colleagues through her behavior and does not intend to pay her any severance compensation.
The district judge agrees with the employer that the woman’s behavior is unacceptable. Furthermore, she indicates that she has no intention of changing her behavior.
De vrouw stelt in de zaak dat zij nog steeds achter de door haar gebruikte woorden staat omdat dit volgens haar de waarheid is. Daarom geeft de rechter groen licht voor de ontslagaanvraag.
The company must offer the woman a severance pay, as her misconduct was not serious enough for her to have lost that right.
According to the magistrate, there is no serious blameworthy conduct by the woman, and she can continue to claim the usual transition compensation.
