Interesting. An extract:
“Sighing at a colleague at work in frustration could breach equality laws, an employment tribunal has ruled. Nonverbal expressions of disappointment or irritation could amount to discrimination, a judge said.
The ruling came in the case of a UK software engineer with ADHD who successfully sued a tech company for disability discrimination after complaining about his manager’s sighing and exaggerated exhales.
Robert Watson is now in line for compensation from Roke Manor Research, the inventors of the Hawk-Eye ball tracking system used at Wimbledon, in international cricket and in football.”
I assume his manager’s “sighing and exaggerated exhales” mean the person is probably of the female persuasion, amirite?
