Read the shocking emails pub worker sent boss after being fired: ‘You’ll rot exactly where I left you’
A worker who threatened his CEO with a ‘double tap on the head’ and sent 1,800 pages of abusive and irrelevant emails has had his unfair dismissal claim thrown out by the Fair Work Commission.
Peter Kha filed the claim against Glenbourne Investments, which operates numerous venues around Sydney, including the Beverly Hills Hotel, Kings Tavern and the Royal Exchange Hotel.
Last month the company requested that Mr Kha only correspond with its law firm and not communicate with its employees. Deputy President Tom Roberts granted the request.
However, on October 7 Glenbourne Investments applied to have the claim dismissed on the grounds that Mr Kha had failed to comply with the order.
Pigott Stinson partner Leonie Kyriacou, who represented the company, told the Commission that between September 30 and October 7 Mr Kha sent her more than 205 emails — 157 of them copied to the Commission and 50 sent to people on the list of prohibited recipients. The emails totalled more than 1,800 pages.
One of the emails sent on October 7, which was also sent to the chief executive of Glenbourne Investments, his sons and staff, was ruled threatening.
‘If you step against me, you better finish the job,’ the email read.

‘Because when I shoot, it’s a double tap to the head. You won’t crawl. You won’t recover. You’ll rot exactly where I left you.
‘I don’t play. I don’t warn. I end. There are no second chances when I move. No redemption arcs. No post-battle confessions.
‘When I strike, it’s not a fight – it’s a funeral. So if you ever come for Me, make sure you never miss. Because I won’t.’
Deputy President Roberts said many of the vexatious emails contained statements and attachments with little relevance to the issues in dispute.
‘Many of them are threatening in nature,’ he said.
‘Much if not most of the content is nonsensical.’
In an email sent on October 6, Mr Kha admitted he was deliberately sending chaotic satire to exhaust the opposition.
He went on to write, ‘NO LAWYER enjoys reviewing 500 pages of chaotic satire, and NO NARCISSIST survives being OUT-REASONED by someone who WEAPONISED emojis, memes, and tone.’
FWC deputy president Tom Roberts said the emails by Mr Kha were deliberate, vexatious and designed to cause inconvenience and distress
Mr Kha also sent emails containing threats against staff, which included photographs of the company’s venues and staff.
Deputy president Roberts said Mr Kha indicated he understood the directions to only communicate with the law firm and the possible consequences of any breach.
‘His conduct was in my view deliberate, vexatious and designed to cause the respondent and a number of its staff at the very least, inconvenience and distress,’ he said.
‘Mr Kha’s conduct was plainly unreasonable.’
Deputy president Roberts said Mr Kha offered no explanation for his conduct and did not challenge the evidence of the respondent or provide any evidence of his own.
The Daily Mail approached Mr Kha for comment and was met with an email from his solicitor Ihab Jamal.
‘As there are legal proceedings currently before the courts, I have advised my client not to respond to any emails or enquiries, whether from you or otherwise,’ he said.
