Our thanks to Pete for this. The start of the piece:
“A public relations worker with ADHD who was fired for being ‘disorganised’ when she missed calls because she went to Starbucks, shopping, or for a massage, has won a disability discrimination case.
Nicole Hogger was described as being ‘disorganised’ by her manager after she missed a meeting without telling anyone she would be absent.
Miss Hogger would also miss calls because ‘she had been out for a massage, to Starbucks, or to the supermarket’, a tribunal heard.
However, it has been ruled that using the word ‘disorganised’ to describe a co-worker can amount to disability discrimination under UK employment law.”
