The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a teacher seeking reinstatement after her contract was terminated. The court found that while the employee faced personal and financial difficulties, she had neglected her duties by allowing unauthorized alcohol consumption in a girls' dormitory. The court ruled that such personal hardships cannot serve as a shield for employees who fail to perform their obligations, requiring them to take greater responsibility for their own employment stability.
