SANDOVAL-GUTIERREZ, J. |
||||
| Petitioner, in insisting that his employment should not be terminated, invokes his 19 years of service in respondent company. In Central Pangasinan Electric Cooperative, Inc. vs. Macaraeg,[8] we held that "the longer an employee stays in the service of the company, the greater is his responsibility for knowledge and compliance with the norms of conduct and the code of discipline in the company." On a similar note, our ruling in United South Dockhandlers, Inc. vs. NLRC[9] is quite explicit, thus: "An employee's length of service with the company even aggravates his offense. He should have been more loyal to petitioner company from which he has derived his family bread and butter for seventeen (17) years." WHEREFORE, the petition is DENIED. The assailed Decision dated January 17, 2001 and Resolution dated May 3, 2001 of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. SP No. 53987 are hereby AFFIRMED. | |||||
