Really??????

A British university lecturer is getting a $20,000 payout for unfair dismissal — after being fired for aggressively using too many question marks in messages.

Dr. Binoy Sobnack was fired last March as the warden of a residence hall at Loughborough University following complaints that his excessive punctuation created an “intimidating” tone, according to a court ruling.

Text messages to other staff included one asking “Do you have to stay for dinner????,” and another asking, “Why don’t you listen?????? Stick to what has been decided!”

An employment tribunal in Leicester ruled that Dr. Sobnack — who is still a physics lecturer at the university — was unfairly dismissed from his role as warden, which he held for 18 years, because the complaints against him were unproven and never fully investigated.

However, Judge Richard Adkinson reduced the planned payout amount by 25 percent, leaving the lecturer with $20,000 — because his “conduct contributed to his dismissal.”

Sobnack had ignored warnings and his “brusque, blunt and unnecessarily aggressive” messages amounted to “culpable and blameworthy conduct,” the ruling said.

“The use of multiple exclamations or question marks… might make an otherwise neutral text appear aggressive, intimidating or suggesting disbelief,” the judge wrote.
