Man claims boring job was 'descent into hell' at tribunal

A man has claimed his boring job "destroyed" him, after taking his case to an employment tribunal.

Frenchman Frédéric Desnard says his managerial job at the perfume company Interparfum, which made him redundant 18 months ago, was so tedious he became exhausted and literally bored out of his mind – The Guardian reports.

The 44-year-old said his job was a “bore out” - similar to a burnout, but less interesting.

In what is believed to be the first case of its kind in France, Desnard is seeking €360,000 (£282,000) in compensation and damages
