New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has fired a city employee after seeing the man play solitaire on his computer at work.
“The workplace is not an appropriate place for games,” Bloomberg told reporters on Thursday when asked about firing a clerical worker in the city's lobbying office in Albany. “I expect all city workers, including myself, to work hard.”
The man was fired last Tuesday after six years on the job with no warning or severance pay.
