The Toronto Star (subscription) story Monday is straight from the whacky rabbit-hole world of Alice in Wonderland. It says the UK employment firm FDM Group has sent a bill for $30,000 in “damages” to a Toronto man for, apparently, “damaging” FDM’s reputation. FDM has offices in the Richmond-Adelaide Centre. The fired employee is appealing.
FDM's direct competitors in the UK are actually the subject of a legal challenge on the increasingly controversial use of "exit fees" — this article from @FT says FDM is the largest user of those fees https://t.co/6NULwH9dbv

The appeal is behalf of several workers with the same experience at FDM Group, an international staffing agency that places workers at major Canadian banks. Many are young people or new Canadians, says @ParkdaleLegal, which is representing them.
