A female employee who sued an insurance company for discrimination still lost her case — as her boss was guilty of incompetence rather than sexism
A judge has branded the word “gents” as “old-fashioned”, describing the term as unsuitable for the modern workplace.
Dawn Shotter said the shortening of “gentlemen” — often used to describe men’s lavatories — was inappropriate in a ruling involving a claim against one of the Britain’s biggest insurance companies.
A female employee at Royal & Sun Alliance sued for sex discrimination after she was included in group emails from her boss that was addressed to “gents”.
