Overview
- On a Marseille–Paris TGV in late August, law student Miloud Lahmar says he overheard and partially read exchanges about dismissing an employee named Sylvain.
- He recounts that an HR representative and a colleague discussed a dismissal for "faute grave" and allegedly talked about needing to "find the fault" to justify it.
- Lahmar located Sylvain on social media and warned him, and Sylvain has since gone on long-term sick leave according to Lahmar.
- The TikTok video had about 2.6 million views on Saturday, and Lahmar acknowledged reading the name on a screen but argued it was also spoken aloud on the phone.
- SNCF’s official TikTok account posted an ironic reminder to make calls from station platforms, and the articles report no official employer response or legal complaint.
