A Bank of America employee has lost his appeal against being fired for mooning his boss.

Jason Selch claimed that he had been wrongfully dismissed in legal documents seen by Time, and the Illinois Appelate Court upheld the original trial court's verdict in a judgement handed down last week.

Selch is said to have become upset when he heard that a work colleague had been fired after refusing to accept a lower wage following the merger of their organisation with a Bank of America subsidiary.

He is then alleged to have walked into a conference room, dropped his pants and mooned two fellow employees, one of whom was his direct line manager.

Selch had originally testified that he asked the two men if he had a 'non-compete' clause in his terms of employment which would have prevented him from working for a competitor, as he was aware that his behaviour could potentially lead to his dismissal.

He was originally given a formal warning, but dismissed when senior executive Keith Banks returned from holiday and heard about the incident.
