‘MOST companies like their staff to follow other pursuits outside work. As such, German engineer Thomas Milnik might feel aggrieved.
While mountaineering on the Zugspitze, one of the highest Alpine peaks, Milnik became trapped when a snowstorm struck.
Five days later he was rescued and taken to a nearby hospital. While doctors were contemplating the amputation of six of his toes, Milnik received a letter from his company. No, not a get well soon card. They had sent him a redundancy notice.
The firm, Schroeder & Uhlken, are undeterred by mounting criticism. We only hired Mr Milkin at the beginning of October, said a spokesman for the firm, and he is still in his trial period. This is the second time something like this has happened within that time.’
