They say the early bird gets the worm, but apparently not in Spain.
In Spain, the early bird gets fired.
Yup, a Spanish woman was fired from her job for being perpetually early for work.
The 22-year-old employee had been warned for two years to stop arriving between 6.45am and 7am - a full 40 minutes before she was due in.
Despite being told she wasn't allowed to clock in or begin work ahead of her 7.30am start time, she kept showing up at dawn with nothing to do.
22 years old and always showing up to work early? That's a dream employee in the states!
She arrived early on at least nineteen occasions, and the Spanish company (not sure what kind of company) fired her.
She appealed to the Social Court of Alicante in Spain, saying the dismissal was unjust, but the court ruled against her.
Her stubborn refusal to obey workplace rules was a serious breach under Article 54 of the Spanish Workers' Statute, the court ruled.
Another note: The lady tried to sell a used workplace battery that was being thrown out, but mostly the business was upset about the punctuality.
The woman can appeal to the Supreme Court of Valencia, but for now she's out of a job.
I'd say now she can just sleep in, but that doesn't really sound like her modus operandi.
