Darren Cavanaugh sacked from role at steel engineering business FolsanaA former company director who is suing for £1.3million over work stress has been branded a domineering 'bully' who acted like a 'dictator' in the office.
'The fact that Mr Cavanaugh felt able to associate himself with a character as authoritarian and ruthless as Stalin says a lot about his true personality,' the company's barrister David Platt KC told the High Court in London. He was the longest-serving leader of the Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953, gaining absolute control over the government in 1937.
Mr Cavanaugh suggests his suspension was based on 'manufactured flimsy evidence' and that senior colleagues 'conspired' to oust him in order to avoid handing over a costly severance package, as he had been considering leaving to set up his own laser cutting business. However, Folsana insist that the claim is groundless and that the 'suspension and disciplinary process was bona fides and properly conducted' against a boss who 'thrived on conflict' and 'domination.'
'You brought it into the office and put it on the desk so that everyone could see it,' said Mr Platt. 'I suggest that you were trying to project a message that you were a big tough guy?' Mr Platt said the company's former owner Robert Haslam claimed Mr Cavanaugh tried to take ownership of 'absolutely everything' and 'thrived on conflict, which provided him with an opportunity to show his domination'.
