A little fun doesn’t hurt. And expressing through posts and pictures on facebook that you are having fun shouldn’t hurt either. But if you are claiming to be depressed and getting leave benefits from your employer’s insurer, you should probably consider not posting pictures from your last bar tour, strip club visit or vacation fun.
A canadian woman, who is on leave from her job at IBM in Quebec posted pictures of herself at a Chippendales show and on vacation. And IBM’s insurance company Manulife claims she was definitely having fun in these pictures. Manulife stopped the payment of benefits without notice after seeing the photos and concluded that these pictures showed that the woman was apparently no longer depressed.
According to ABCnews.com the woman, Nathalie Blanchard, wants to take legal action against Manulife, arguing that it was her doctor’s advise to go out with friends and family, and to have fun.
