Lady loses new job over network

Sharing his concerns on X, PeterROCK revealed that his friend had fallen victim to bad network shortcut after her employment.

Her new job was terminated abruptly due to her inability to work efficiently during a rainstorm, which disrupted network services.

“My friend lost her new job last week. Rain was falling and network was bad and they said sorry they can’t work with her,” the tweet read.

The friend’s situation generated mixed reactions online, with many sympathising with her plight while others questioned the employer’s decision.

Several social media users expressed concerns that such excuses might not be tolerated by their own employers.
