Did anyone else have a ton of trouble making sense of the headline? Granted, I’m not exactly sober right now, but that seems confusing.
Made no sense to me neither till I read the article…
The company gives people a card signed by other employees whenever they resign or whatever. Only 3 people signed it so they didn’t give it to her. She then sues.
I figured “leaving card” is probably an English term, which is why us yanks didn’t get the title.
I get the leaving card. What about the employment claim?
She went to the employment court to sue them over her dismissal
I love that Lemmy is more “old Internet”, in that we are devoid of the corpo echo chambers, and we do have these confusions. It helps us all grow and learn. I was very confused as well. No comment on ABV of various bloodstreams.
The plaintiff here sounds like a insufferable enough colleague to not want to write a card to, regardless of gender.
Apparently, she’s appealing the ruling - she wants to speak to the employment tribunal’s manager. (not really)
Her name is literally karen
I’m going to guess that the three people who did sign the card are either spineless doormats or just did it to get the card off their desk as soon as possible.
Either way, I wish her luck with the job hunt. I’ll bet employers can’t wait to hire a paranoid, hypersensitive pain in the ass who sues at the drop of a hat.
I would just sign the card because it’s the path of least resistance and makes no difference to me. How much of a doormat I am plays no role. Lol
It’s basic decency to me. You don’t have to like someone to be courteous.
Maybe it has different social significance in UK
No it does not. Left plenty of crappy jobs without ceremony
Based on the article, she might have been hated not just disliked.
She said another employee had asked her: “Are you taking the piss, Karen?” The tribunal heard that this was after Conaghan suggested she had “done all of the hard work” and it was his “turn to do some”.
The card in the thumbnail is missing a comma after “sorry”
