Lie to your employer to get time off, get caught, get fired. Perfectly justified.
Where did he lie?

First, I think sick leave for stress is stupid and should have never happened in the first place. But since the company granted it, they shouldn't have fired him. They gave him the leave to do it even if the reason for it was stupid... that's their own fault.
In my mind if you're getting stressed enough at work that you can't by physically present then you aren't cut out for the job... period. "Ability to handle stress" should be a valid work requirement and if you don't meet the requirements then you can't do the job, and that means they should be able to find somebody who CAN handle that amount of stress.

I would not expect someone on sick leave to be wrestling sharks, no.
this isn't sick leave, it's a vacation.
Our doctor advised us to go on holiday so we travelled to stay with friends in Australia.
So presumably you expect everyone who isn't on sick leave to go around wrestling sharks...?
No, that is not what I said. Nice try though.
planning a vacation is stressful as fuck. sure it's fun, but it causes stress.
if guy was truly stressed the fuck out and on sick leave he should have stayed home and masturbated like the rest of us until he was ready to go back to work.
sounds like he misled or lied to his employers. i can see why they wouldnt want a guy working them that they cant trust. looks legit to me.
Internet experts, eh?
Thank Christ you aren't in charge of anything more complicated than paperclips.
That's the only reason I can see for why you get so bent out of shape when somebody says being able to handle stress should be a work requirement. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen, as they say.
Did the article state it was work related stress? Are you also against short term disability? Long term disability?
Mr Marshallsea and his wife Wendy, 56, were on extended sick leave for work-related stress from the charity they had worked 10 years for.

If he's on sick leave for work related stress, what would they want him to do, stay at home and don't go out?

The charity's former project co-ordinator, said: "If I hadn't gone in to save the kids on that beach that day my wife and I would still have a job."

The guy can't handle work related stress but runs and jumps into an ocean to drag a shark away from kids while on "sick leave" for a month? Something seems off.
Just because someone can't handle stress at work doesn't mean they should be guaranteed a job just because a doctor says it's a real problem. A doctor will say anything, they have no obligation to anyone else's organization/business to be real with the patient when it comes to non physical issues.
I would fire someone too if they did that. I want someone who can handle the job they are tasked to do, he's not an engineer for NASA, not a neuro surgeon, not infantry in the military....he's working at the Boys and Girls Club.
I'll bet your asshole puckers up every time somebody wants you to make a decision too.

did you see his vacation photos? He didnt seem very stressed and he was on leave for more than a month. Of course its a legit firing.
