| On the other hand, loss of trust and confidence as a ground of dismissal has never been intended to afford an occasion for abuse because of its subjective nature.[32] It should not be used as a subterfuge for causes which are illegal, improper, and unjustified.[33] It must be genuine, not a mere afterthought intended to justify an earlier action taken in bad faith.[34] Let it not be forgotten that what is at stake is the means of livelihood, the name, and the reputation of the employee.[35] To countenance an arbitrary exercise of that prerogative is to negate the employee's constitutional right to security of tenure.[36] | |||||
