Yoga teacher fired for glaring at Facebook worker
MENLO PARK, Calif. — A California yoga instructor has been fired for her disapproving stink-eye glare at a Facebook employee using a cellphone in class.
Alice Van Ness, who was hired to teach hourlong yoga sessions at Facebook’s Menlo Park campus, says she tells students before class to turn off their cellphones.
But a female employee pulled out her cellphone in the middle of a Monday session and began texting.
The San Jose Mercury News says Van Ness didn’t say anything, but she gave the student what she calls a look of disapproval.
The student later complained and Van Ness was fired by Plus One Health Management.
The termination letter says Van Ness “made a spectacle” of the student.
