The Supreme Court of Poland reinstated the employee's dismissal decision, ordering the employer to reinstate the worker to his position. The court found that the employer's subjective refusal to cooperate and the lack of objective evidence of a deep conflict did not justify denying reinstatement. Consequently, the court ruled that the employer's objective interest required the employee's return, overriding the individual staff members' claims of irreparable breakdown in teamwork.
