The Fair Work Commission’s recent decision to reinstate a worker who was sacked for accidentally sending an email to all staff has got me thinking about just how backwards our workplace priorities have become. The fact that this happened at Bravus (formerly Adani) somehow makes it even more infuriating, but that’s probably a rant for another day.

What really gets under my skin is how we’ve created this culture where a simple human error – something that happens to literally everyone who’s ever worked in an office – can cost someone their livelihood. Meanwhile, the company that couldn’t be bothered to implement basic email security measures gets to act like the victim.
