It is not the first time Facebook has landed workers in trouble and it certainly won’t be the last.
But the ruling by a court in the town of Pau, south west France, could set a new precedent.
The member of staff, from the town Anglet in the Pyrenees region, who was in charge of recruitment for an employment agency, was sacked because she spent too much time on Facebook at work.
It all came to light when the female employee was off on holiday and her boss asked a technician to check her computer, according to the regional Sud Ouest newspaper.
The boss’s suspicions had been aroused by the amount of time it took his employee to complete simple tasks.
After the IT technician had carried out his checks it all became clear.
Not only was her manager enlightened over how much time she spent on Facebook and Hotmail, but he was also shocked to find out his employee had spent her work time selling lingerie online in order to supplement her income. Full story...
