Do you think that it is right for your job to spy on you when you call in sick?
A Swiss insurance worker lost her job after surfing
popular social network site Facebook
The woman said she could not work in front of a computer as she needed to lie in the dark but was then seen to be active on Facebook, which insurer Nationale Suisse said in a statement had destroyed its trust in the employee.
"This abuse of trust, rather than the activity on Facebook, led to the ending of the work contract," it said.
The unnamed woman said she had been surfing Facebook in bed on her iPhone and accused her employer of spying on her and other employees by sending a mysterious friend request which allows access to personal online activity.
Her job rejected the accusation of spying and said the employee's Facebook activity had been stumbled across by a colleague in November, before use of the social network site was blocked in the company.
I Maybe she started feeling better and just wanted to check her page, you know how boring it can be when you are in bed sick.
Do you think she should have lost her job?
