Does swearing at your boss justify dismissal?
It is highly likely a lot of us can recall a time where we would have loved to have unleashed a tirade of expletives at specific people in the workplace in the heat of the moment.

If you find yourself in a situation like this you may also be entitled to claim thousands of dollars in compensation.
