la SNCF s'est fendu d'un commentaire ironique sous la vidéo de Miloud Lahmar : "On a pourtant dit 'passez vos appels téléphoniques depuis les plateformes."

Overview

  • Law student Miloud Lahmar says he overheard and read references to an HR discussion about firing an employee named Sylvain during an August Marseille–Paris TGV journey.
  • According to his posts and media interviews, the exchange mentioned a dismissal for ‘faute grave’ and the need to “find the fault” to justify it.
  • Lahmar posted a TikTok on August 21 addressing Sylvain directly, and the video surpassed 2.5 million views by September 20.
  • He says he identified Sylvain after hearing the surname and glimpsing it on a nearby laptop, contacted him via Facebook, and reports Sylvain is now on long-term sick leave.
  • SNCF’s official TikTok account replied with an ironic reminder to place calls from platforms, and no statement from the employer or formal proceedings was reported.
