That's very cliché (no pun intended). I've seen companies in France firing employees simply for making too many typos. Employee sued and company won.

- cm2187 11y agoThat's fiction. Even in cases of manifest faults employees sue and win. I am certain you can't fire someone for a typo in France. There was an amusing anecdote. A guy working for EDF I think. Except that he was never showing up and instead was working as a waiter in the family restaurant. EDF sent someone to the restaurant to check that he was there instead of at work, and he was, and decided to fire him. The lay-off was cancelled in court on the basis that an employee has to receive a notice in advance of a control! The French labour system has been modelled after Kafka.
