Krankenhausträger, der sich weigerte, eine Covid-Maske zu tragen, verliert Rechtsstreit

as much as i hate Compass group they deserved this win against a guy who had 9 months off on full pay because he was self-entitled. everyone had to make sacrifices.

“Alternative measures to wearing a mask such as social distancing were “not possible,”

Would a face shield not have sufficed?

Don’t get me wrong – The guy is ridiculous given his proximity to vulnerable people; but if he had such an adverse reaction to wearing a mask, was a face shield considered?

From the article,

>In March 2021, during the pandemic, a nurse complained about him wearing his mask below his nose, the tribunal heard.

He was spoken to by management, but soon afterwards, began turning up to work without a mask and wearing an exemption badge, the tribunal was told.

…

The porter told staff he did “not like things obstructing his face”, and could not wear any kind of mask.

So, he was initially happy to wear a mask, just incorrectly. Then, after being reminded to wear it properly, he suddenly claims an exemption and stops wearing one entirely.

Hard not to see it as a deliberate escalation or an overreaction to being corrected—almost as if he was making a point rather than addressing a legitimate concern—rather than a genuine need for an exemption.

I had a theory that the only people that were set against the masks just had really bad breath and didn’t want to deal with it
