A senior NHS scientist who won a race claim after her username was changed to “paininarse” on a work spreadsheet has been awarded almost £60,000 in compensation.
Ubah Jama was considered a “troublemaker” after complaining about a fellow biochemist throwing a test tube in her direction, an employment tribunal heard.
Her alleged ill-treatment culminated in the “offensive” insertion of the phrase “paininarse” on a shared Microsoft Excel document which could be seen by colleagues across two hospitals, the tribunal heard.
