Staff:

The enterprise defaulted in commission, but stated the facts without framing

In response to Wang Ping's accusation, Miss Wu admitted in court that she had indeed made the above-mentioned remarks in wechat circle of friends, but thought that she was only stating the facts and did not frame it, because Wang Ping defaulted on the Commission and personally attacked her family.

Miss Wu said that she left the company at the beginning of this year. Due to the default of the base salary Commission, she began to recover it from Wu Ping in February 2017. However, the companies in charge of Wu Ping's management pushed each other seriously, and they were in arrears for almost three months. The first commission of 6199.19 yuan was not recovered until April 5, 2017, and two commissions were still not paid.

Ms. Wu said that when she first recovered the Commission, she had a very good attitude and didn't use excessive language. It was Wang Ping who used swearing in her conversation and scolded her insanity. After that, she attacked her mother and her mother on wechat and harassed her mother and husband by phone. However, her Commission was delayed. At that time, she was very angry. In June this year, she and Wang Ping's wechat Chat records are posted in the circle of friends.

Is it illegal to scold the boss

Court:

Rejection in the first instance does not constitute reputation infringement

The court found out that Miss Wu was engaged in sales work in the enterprise. When she left in January this year, her company still owed her salary and commission of about 20000 yuan, which was paid in three times until May 22, 2017.

The first instance of Xiangzhou court found that Wang Ping, the plaintiff, believed that the defendant had made the chat contents of both sides public in the defendant's circle of friends and used such offensive language as "shameless and greedy for money" to personally attack the plaintiff. However, it is a fact that Ms. Wu, the defendant, was in arrears with her salary after her resignation. It is a reasonable claim for the defendant to recover her salary from the department head and the person in charge of the company through wechat.

At the same time, the court said that from the wechat call records provided by the defendant, it can be seen that the defendant did not have excessive language at the beginning. The company didn't start paying back wages until nearly three months after the defendant left the company. After that, the plaintiff made radical remarks in the dialogue with the defendant and claimed to call directly to 'greet' the defendant's mother.

On the one hand, the defendant thinks that the company still owes it two commissions not to be paid. On the other hand, in response to the plaintiff's improper words and deeds to the defendant's family, the defendant has made some negative comments on the company and the plaintiff in the circle of friends. Although the defendant's words are also some radical, they are the responses to the company's underpaid behavior and the plaintiff's words and deeds. '

At the same time, the court said Wang Ping claimed that the defendant's wechat call records with the plaintiff were published in the circle of friends, which caused the company's customers and the head office to lower their evaluation, which may have an impact on their career, and the corresponding reputation would be damaged, but they did not provide evidence to prove that the above damage had occurred. Finally, the first instance rejected Wang Ping's claim and awarded the case acceptance fee To be borne by them.

What's the responsibility for swearing in the circle of friends

Different from social tools such as microblog and blog, wechat has stronger privacy, which is generally limited to people who add friends to each other to understand the information of their circle of friends. That is to say, wechat belongs to closed-loop communication in private space, and non wechat friends can't see the content published by their friends' circle. Therefore, some people take wechat for granted as a space to vent their personal indignation and abuse others, but they do not know that it will also bring trouble to the perpetrator and constitute infringement and even crime.
