A teacher in China who was fired for having her cat present in the background during online classes has received 41,236 yuan (RM27,048) in compensation from her former employer.
The art teacher, surnamed Luo, from Guangzhou in Guangdong province, southern China, received the compensation after she took the local education company she had worked for since 2019 to court, Bailu Video reported.
