Hello,
I just need advice on below situation
Employee 1 is playing random songs inside his office but rhyming "[employee 2] is gay". He would rhyme that line to any songs he plays in the office and rhymes it on top of his voice.
[Employee 2]'s office is next to this employee1 and can hear it every day as it is a very thin wall. Mike did not raise a complain hoping it would stop but it has been going on for months. Employee 2 eventually raised it to HR.
Employee 1 did ask employee 2 if he would raise a complaint when it first started and he said he won't hoping it was only once. Employee 1 then said good as if employee 2 was to raise a complaint he would do even more.
Some other employee heard it around canteen area where employee 1 has been going around singing and rhyming it at the same time.
I have taken advice however I have been advice it is not a gross misconduct as it is not a direct discrimination as employee 2 is not gay.
What do you think ?
Is this not a sackable offence?
I would like to hear suggestions on what you guys think of it?
Thank you
