A former UBS Group AG equities salesman who left in December 2013 and got a new job the following month, says he was wrongfully dismissed and is asking for more than $1 million at the Paris employment tribunal.
Bertrand Tissier, who worked at UBS Securities France SA for over three years, says his employer sidelined him for no apparent reason months before he left. UBS denies the allegations and says Tissier left for another job that he had begun interviewing for as early as August, according to the Swiss bank’s lawyer, Jean-Michel Segeron.
