Apparently, my points were lost on you. You answered neither of my two questions.

If he's that annoyed about it, there is absolutely nothing stopping him from getting another job.
Who said someone was stopping him from getting another job? Red herring.

His employer is apparently not annoyed with the situation, and the employer's opinion is what counts, not Jamten's.
This is a speculation and an assertion, and again doesn't address my question.

Jamten was the one whining, not his co-workers. If his co-workers started whining about Jamten, I'd say the same thing.
It doesn't matter who you think is whining, My question was would it be acceptable for Jamten (or, more to the point, his employer) to say "Find another job"?

I'm just responding to his statement that he hates his work. I cannot engage in mind-reading to discern what he really meant; I am forced to merely read his writings and apply the rules of standard written English.

It is a logical inference based on the statements made by Jamten. The employees are apparently keeping their job; this indicates that the employer is satisfied with their performance.

A logical inference can be made that your linguistic skills could use some serious improvement, based on your apparent inability to differentiate between the concepts of "speculation," "assertion," and "logical inference."

If the employer is not satisfied with the language skills of his employees (or any other aspect of their job performance), he is perfectly right to terminate their employment and seek employment elsewhere. It wouldn't be Jamten's place to do that unless he has been granted the authority to do so.
