A female IT boss on £90,000 a year sued for sex discrimination after complaining her male colleagues had Nerf gun wars in the office.
Sarah Longman described a “laddish” workplace culture where members of staff in the department she managed used the children’s toy blasters to fire foam pellets at each other.
Ms Longman, head of information systems, also complained that they threw rubber chickens at each other as part of a wider “sexist” environment where her team regularly took part in “childlike” and “immature” pranks.
