La banlieue est trop souvent associée à la violence et à la drogue... Elle a pourtant bien d'autres visages : c'est la terre d'accueil des peintres du XIXème siècle, le terrain de jeu des amateurs de bière et le lieu de prédilection des randonneurs !

Man Fired for Keeping Webcam Off Awarded $73,000
A remote worker who was fired for refusing to keep his camera on while working has been awarded about $73,000 by a Dutch court.

The man, whose name was not made public, had been working for the US software company Chetu in the Netherlands since 2019. On August 23, 2022, while working remotely, he was told by his employer that he should keep his webcam on all day for online training.

The employee said he didn't feel comfortable being monitored on camera for nine hours, and refused to do so. He added that the company could already see all activities on his laptop and that he was also sharing his screen.

But Chetu said that having a camera on was no different from being watched in an office. And the company fired him.

Finding this unfair, the man took the company to court in the Netherlands. He told the court that he hadn't been given clear enough reasons for being fired, and that asking him to keep his camera on for the whole workday was against his right to privacy.

And the court agreed. Chetu now must pay the man about $73,000.

While using a webcam to check on employees may not be very common, computer programs that monitor employee activity have become popular.

A survey from 2021 found that 60% of US companies with remote workers were using employee monitoring software, and 81% of those companies found that their workers were more productive while being monitored.

Man Fired for Keeping Webcam Off Awarded $73,000

在附近的宇宙中，还有 325、326、327、328、329、330 等几颗小行星。
He found himself in the neighborhood of the asteroids 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, and 330.
他就开始访问这几颗星球，想在那里找点事干，并且学习学习。
He began, therefore, by visiting them, in order to add to his knowledge.
第一颗星球上住着一个国王。
The first of them was inhabited by a king.
国王穿着用紫红色和白底黑花的毛皮做成的大礼服，坐在一个很简单却又十分威严的宝座上。
Clad in royal purple and ermine,he was seated upon a throne which was at the same time both simple and majestic.
当他看见小王子时，喊了起来：“啊，来了一个臣民。”
"Ah! Here is a subject," exclaimed the king, when he saw the little prince coming.
小王子思量着：“他从来也没有见过我，怎么会认识我呢？”
And the little prince asked himself: "How could he recognize me when he had never seen me before?"
他哪里知道，在那些国王的眼里，世界是非常简单的：所有的人都是臣民。
He did not know how the world is simplified for kings. To them, all men are subjects.
国王十分骄傲，因为他终于成了某个人的国王，他对小王子说道：“靠近些，好让我好好看看你。”
"Approach, so that I may see you better," said the king, who felt consumingly proud of being at last a king over somebody.
小王子看看四周，想找个地方坐下来，
The little prince looked everywhere to find a place to sit down;
可是整个星球被国王华丽的白底黑花皮袍占满了。

but the entire planet was crammed and obstructed by the king's magnificent ermine robe.
他只好站在那里，但是因为疲倦了，他打起哈欠来。
So he remained standing upright, and, since he was tired, he yawned.
君王对他说：“在一个国王面前打哈欠是违反礼节的。我禁止你打哈欠。”
"It is contrary to etiquette to yawn in the presence of a king," the monarch said to him. "I forbid you to do so."
小王子羞愧地说道：“我实在忍不住，”
"I can't help it. I can't stop myself," replied the little prince, thoroughly embarrassed.
我长途跋涉来到这里，还没有睡觉呢。
I have come on a long journey, and I have had no sleep...
国王说：“那好吧，我命令你打哈欠。
"Ah, then," the king said. "I order you to yawn.
好些年来我没有看见过任何人打哈欠。
It is years since I have seen anyone yawning.
对我来说，打哈欠倒是新奇的事。
Yawns, to me, are objects of curiosity.
来吧，再打个哈欠！这是命令。
Come, now! Yawn again! It is an order.
