A Swiss postal worker, Jean-Daniel Taverney, was terminated from his position after 42 years of service for consistently delivering packages directly to apartment doors, against company policy. Swiss Post instructed employees to leave parcels only at building entrances. Taverney, age 59, deliberately disregarded this directive, citing concerns about package theft as his motivation. He believed delivering to doors provided greater security for recipients. The company confirmed the dismissal, stating adherence to delivery protocols is mandatory. The case has sparked debate regarding the balance between company rules and employee discretion in preventing crime. Taverney’s actions were seen by many as a helpful service, but Swiss Post maintains consistent procedures are necessary.
