"A Sainsbury's store manager has been awarded nearly 12,000 after an employment tribunal found he was humiliated by being excluded from his boss's International Men's Day social media post. Darren Cooper was on leave for anxiety when his regional director shared a post celebrating male leaders who all show up for work each day, put on a name badge and provide support, guidance and leadership."
"Upon seeing that he was not included, Mr Cooper felt excluded, humiliated and violated, he told the Cardiff tribunal. The tribunal ruled in his favour, upholding his claims for harassment related to disability and unfavourable treatment arising from his disability. A subsequent remedy hearing determined he would receive 11,852 in compensation, which included 7,500 for injury to feelings."
