A former manager, Frederic Desnard, at a perfumery in Paris, France has been awarded $45,000 as compensation after he sued his old employer because ‘his job was so boring that it made him depressed and forced him to quit in 2015.’

In 2016, the bizarre court case made the news when Desnard sued French perfumery Interparfum for $400,000 after ‘making him work a boring job that at one point made him suffer an epileptic fit and left him feeling depressed.’

He also claimed that the company signed him off work for several months, and later used his prolonged absence as an excuse to fire him in 2014.

The 48-year-old, after four years of litigation, won his case and got a compensation of $45,000.

An appeal court in Paris ruled that Desnard suffered from ‘bore out’, which is technically the opposite of burnout, where an employee is overworked.

The former manager’s lawyer claimed that the complete lack of stimulation at work had left the man feeling ‘destroyed’ and ‘ashamed’, even triggering an epileptic fit when he was driving.
