Three years ago, the sex photo scandal involving Hong Kong star Edison Chen caused a great uproar. Just as the persons involved were getting out of the shadow and regained confidence, in Shanghai which is thousands of miles away, a female senior executive of a foreign company lost her job because of this. Recently, the female executive filed a complaint to the Labor Arbitration Committee, demanding that her labor contract with the company be restored or the company pay corresponding economic compensation.
Ms. Wang, who is close to 40 years old, is a senior female executive of one of the top 500 enterprises in Shanghai. She has worked for this company for more than 10 years, but because of a sex photo, not only was she fired by the company, but also labeled as "indecent" by her colleagues. Fortunately, Ms. Wang claims that she has an open mind. Whenever people talk about this matter, she jokes, "I am another female victim of the sex photo scandal."
