Lauren Van Wassenhove filed a very attention-grabbing lawsuit against French telco Orange. Wassenhove is looking at life in retirement, but before then, she’s suing her employer for not giving her any work for 20 years while still paying her salary.
Normally, that would sound like a dream. Who wouldn’t want to be paid with no expectations or performance indicators? But for Wassenhove, it was a matter of dignity. She built a lifelong career with the telco and got her start there in 1993, back when it was still called France Télécom.
