There was already a person working for the company with the name Marion, so when she refused to change her name to Marie to avoid confusion, the company fired her.
“He wanted to change my name from Marion to Marie, because clients could confuse [me] with another Marion,” the 27-year-old, Toulouse native told local publication La Depeche du Midi.
“Either the boss takes his customers for fools or it’s just a pretext because he never wanted to offer me a contract,” she said.
After three weeks of training with the company, they allegedly asked her to make the name-change through email—and an interview afterward turned up the request to change it, or be terminated.
