A marketing manager for a tyre business has been awarded more than $145,000 after his unfair dismissal. During evidence it was also heard that Campbell's boss, Bruce Donaldson, said Campbell was not "a tyre man" and didn't "bleed black". Subsequently disclosed email exchanges explicitly indicate an agenda to make way for a position for Mr X by removing Campbell. He placed emphasis on Campbell's lack of tyre industry experience and product knowledge on his non-appointment. The inclusion of the "10-years-plus industry experience" strongly points to an ulterior motive.
