Employee fired after reporting his boss for looking into his toilet stall

But wait there's more. The boss took a polygraph test and it revealed that he did not peek over...
We remember a time when looking over the cubicle in the boys' toilet was a prank of note.
But as a grown up, those things sound truly vile and completely inappropriate.
Anyway, that's what we thought.
A worker at an engineering firm got fired after he reported his boss for looking over into the stall whilst he was busy in the toilet.
After making the report, the two (the worker and the boss) were subjected to polygraph tests.
"The boss took the test and 'no deception was detected'. The worker, who had agreed to the test but never pitched up, was subsequently fired following a disciplinary hearing." (MSN)
The worker is said to have noticed his boss peek over the stall, and when he completed his visit to the toilet: "Being upset by the incident, he went to look for his boss and saw him leaving the bathroom. The worker approached a shop steward before approaching his union externally. His union, in turn, addressed an email to the boss that evening, calling for an apology concerning the incident." (MSN)
No apology was given, which is why a formal complaint was filed against the boss.
The worker was fired because he did not show up for the polygraph test, but the court found that to be quite harsh a result.
"While it is unknown whose version is right or wrong, the court said the worker’s version is more probable as he took efforts to raise what he was aggrieved about. It was said that the worker wouldn’t have gone to these lengths if his boss did not peek over the wall." (MSN)
