Speaker 2 (00:05):
Today, the Crazy Train is heading out to France, where
a fifty nine year old woman named Laurence van Wassenhove
is suing her former employer. She said she spent over
twenty years working for this telecom giant called Orange, and
while she was at the job putting her time in,

(00:26):
she felt like she wasn't given any tasks, any responsibilities,
or any meaningful workplace interaction. She got paid for twenty
years to do absolutely nothing, and now she's suing the
company because.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
She said, you guys never gave me anything to do.
Oh stop it.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Twenty years, you collect a paycheck for not doing anything.
They don't ask for their money back, and you're upset.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
About it, ma'am. Oh no, no, no, it's like a
dream job. Okay, where do we submit our resumes?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Stop it.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
She said it amounted to psychological torture and she felt
sidelined and invisible within the company. You didn't feel invisible
when you were walking to the bank catching checks.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Stop it.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Oh, I count with people sometimes.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
What and now you're suing them after you collected twenty
years for doing nothing?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah? I can't that's crazy. That is your daily crazy crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
You ride the crazy train every weekday at seventeen, at
nine forty and if you are looking for a job
to do nothing and get paid for it for twenty years.
Clearly there's a position over God.
