| IBM Worker Says He Was Fired for Chat Room Addiction |
|
Edited on Mon Nov-20-06 01:16 PM by LoZoccolo
In the lawsuit, the former employee admits that he spent time in chat rooms during work hours, but claims his behavior is the result of an addiction and that IBM should have offered him counseling instead of firing him.http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=194500201

|
it's not because he's lazy and doesn't want to do any work, but rather because he has a food addiction?
