Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

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

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”.
