Five employees of the Immeuble Syndic firm are calling for help. They are deprived of software, hardware and mailboxes. Their boss, however, continues to pay them without responding to their requests.
“We’re calling out for help. We’re abandoned and no one seems to care,” Claire says, her voice trembling with emotion.
