A Switzerland-based software engineer has claimed he lost his job at a major tech company just days after mistakenly using a senior executive's towel at a gym sauna, sharing the account on Reddit following his dismissal. The engineer, who said he had been with the company since 2022 and earned roughly CHF 100,000 (approximately Rs 1 crore) annually, described the episode as evidence of how little control employees ultimately hold over their own careers.
"Here is an insane story about what it means to be an employee and totally shows that employee = slavery. This happened to me," he wrote.
