Woman forced to resign from job because she talks too much
A woman who was fired because she talks too much claims unfair dismissal...
When we think about this story, it takes us to this one scene in the hit show, 'Friends', which recently aired its Reunion Show, where Chandler gives Joey a job at his workplace and Joey just does his thing and makes friends with everyone at work, even creating a fake family.
We're not sure if Tracey Bodman was exactly the same with her stories, but she was someone who chatted so much at work that she was seen chatting for around half an hour.

"Staff at AA-Wargames, an online toy and games retailer, said they felt unable to ‘break off' from talking to her and get back to their work."
Eeek, that's awkward...She was said to have been warned by her bosses but to no improvement. After a disciplinary hearing where she found out that there were some complaints about her chit-chatting in the office, she resigned.
Thereafter, she contested it later saying that she was forced out of the company and didn't receive proper training.
A judge ruled on the case in favour of the company as Tracey Trap, as she was nicknamed, was not in fact being productive at her job. She was only replying to 4 or 5 emails a day when she was supposed to be handling 15 to 20 emails in an hour.
We're not sure whether you can relate with this or not, but it seems from experience that there is always one "Tracey Trap" at every company and we're wondering how they fare out with completing all their work and still making time for that chit chat sessions?
Just for fun, we have added the scene we spoke about at the beginning of this article.
