Pay without work, and a complaint?

We know. Viksit India, Bharat, whatever - especially the way that the outgoing British prime minister's father-in-law doesn't see humanity having better things to do than to stay in office for rani and country - wants viksit problems. As in 'First World' conundrums. And, so, we have Laurence Van Wassenhove, a French woman, who has taken telecom giant, Orange, to court. What is the because? For almost 30 years, she received - horror of horrors! - her full salary without being assigned any work.

We know. If you're a Gujarati or Bengali - the kind of person who can make money out of nothing and the kind who make nothing out of money, respectively - this will sound odd. But complaining about earning without working is probably a spiritual thing associated with Judeo-Christian concepts of sin. As the court proceedings unfold, Laurence's lawyer argues that this prolonged salary-without-work situation led to 'moral harassment'. Meanwhile, Orange insists they acted appropriately, considering her medical condition - partial paralysis and epilepsy. But, meanwhile, while some people complain about not being given enough work to earn their salary, the rest of us are raising our hands to endanger our sockets to say, 'Pay me to not work!' Especially for us in India, where showing that we work is more important than us actually working, this case is utterly puzzling.
