Berlin, Jan. 11
The owner of a small German computer company has fired three non-smoking workers because they were threatening to disturb the peace after they requested a smoke-free environment. The manager of the 10 person IT Company is Buesum, named Thomas J., told the Hamburger Morgenpost newspaper he had fired the trio because their non-smoking was causing disruptions. Germany introduced non-smoking rules in pubs and restaurants on January 1, but Germans working in small offices are still allowed to smoke. “I can’t be bothered with trouble makers,’ Thomas was quoted saying. “We’re on the phone all the time and it’s easier to work while smoking. Everyone picks on smokers these days. It’s time for revenge, I’m only going to hire smokers from now on.”-Reuters
