“This abuse of trust, rather than the activity on Facebook, led to the ending of the work contract,” wrote the company in a statement.  The woman said she was surfing Facebook from her iPhone and wrote that her employer was spying on her and several other employees.  They were able to do so through a mysterious friend request which gives access to employee activities.  Nationale Suisse denied the spying accusation and said that they obtained the information from one of the woman’s colleagues.

This is the second time I’ve heard of an employee getting fired because of their use of Facebook.  Anglo Irish Bank fired intern Kevin Colvin for taking a “family emergency” day off to dress like a fairy at a Halloween party.
