I still think throwing drinks and sending snotty emails is a bit girly.0

Well - the increasing level of utter crap on this thread aside... I am thankful that the big mystery has been solved. It has been bothering me more than the outcome of Big Brother (well, yes, ok, the outcome of Big Brother wasn't bothering me at all). We now know who is top of the list (it must be a list) of suspects for tipping off the potential new employer. It was the ex-girlfriend. Personally, I'm with her. Any chance we could send a message of support to her?0

yes of course you're with her. another round of ammunition for females to fire at hapless males who have been marginalised, demoralised and sidelined at the altar of sexual equality.
pathetic.
and no it wont have been her, it will have been management level who will have orchestrated this little fiasco on my behalf.
must be tough when you're one of the few women that actually perform the job you do, SarEl?
Dont worry in a few years, even YOUR profession, one of the last male areas that is free from a warped view of how society should be, will be under female control.0 -

You're not a "hapless male" your are simply hapless, clueless and gutless. Who the hell outside of Albert Square throws a drink over a 'love rival'? You go on about how women a emasculating (sp?) the males in the workforce yet it is insecure passive agressive idiots like you that give men in the workplace the bad image you talk of. Go and get some counselling and grow up.0 -
Without having this thread dragged off on a tangent...
Clearly we fell foul of legislation, but it was through a degree of ignorance and her excellent counsel and our awful counsel (if we'd had her counsel we wouldn't have lost)
A manager of 10+ years of unblemished service had sexual discrimination, sexual harassment and a few other things stuck on him.
He stood and talked to the papers and had his photo taken, but it was the picture of the woman who'd changed her name, running out of a courtroom back door, hiding under her coat, as her highly dubious personal life was exposed, that made the front page.
He has continued his career successfully, whereas she has jumped from job to job causing trouble wherever she goes and ex employers are too scared to give her a negative reference.
Make your own mind up on that one.
Really?
Given that she won't have been awarded costs who paid for the "excellent" counsel?
Regarding yours, generally people only speak well of lawyers who win cases for them!
Who knows whether someone else would have done better?
Maybe he did brilliantly to keep the award down to £27K and your firm behaved appallingly?
Or maybe everything is exactly as you say?
What I do know is that there are two sides to every story and I can't possibly make up my mind without hearing both.0 -

No need for concern at all - I have never found it tough at all being a woman in a still predominantly male profession.
Are you seriously suggesting that you are a hapless demoralised man because your ex girlfriend moved on and you couldn't? And you call me pathetic? Most grown-ups can cope with the ending of a relationship without feeling the need to assault someone who is chatting to their ex. What are you - 12?
You blame everyone else for what happened, but you fail to see that there is no excuse whatsoever for your behavious and that far from being badly terated by the employer, you actually got off very lightly. Your attitide doesn't exactly surprise me - it is entirely consistent with the egocentric world view of a 12 year old.0 -

That will be the reason you lost... rather than her "excellent counsel".

Until he erred...or was caught.

Hmmm, what would her "highly dubious" personal life have to do with her professional life? I hope it wasn't an attempt at mud slinging.0 -

Women are still very much the underdog. The glass ceiling and old boys' club still exist. Those women who say otherwise are either deluding themselves or work in the public sector or work for themselves and are their own boss.0 -

Funny how you pop up just when your AE needs a bit of support! :rotfl:Science adjusts its views based on what's observed.
Faith is the denial of observation, so that belief can be preserved.

Erm... except that I wasn't giving him support. I was disagreeing with him.
No offence but, in a frank and brutally honest kind of way, I find your insistence that I'm the OP ever so slightly annoying.0
