Tim highlights (another) case of a blogger, Petite Anglaise, who was sacked for blogging.
An English secretary is bringing a test case under French labour law after allegedly being sacked for bringing her employers into disrepute by writing a "Bridget Jones in Paris" blog describing her everyday life...
...She was told she was being suspended pending dismissal. "The phrase used, 'gross misconduct', usually means you've done something terrible like you embezzle money from your firm," said Catherine, 33, a French and German graduate who grew up in Yorkshire but has spent all her working life in Paris.
"I was so shocked that I didn't stick up for myself, even to point out that the whole blog was written anonymously. I was given five minutes to gather my belongings and leave." From the Telegraph.
As Tim says,
Anyone in the publishing world looking for a decent book package (for the lady certainly knows how to write)?
We don't do books at ScooptWords - not yet anyhow - but he's got a point. She's sharp and witty with it. Bon chance Petite Anglaise. Meanwhile, is the boss reading your diary?
