A former sales director will get more than $86,000 after his boss allegedly said he didn't want a team of 'bald-headed 50-year-old men' who were a 'mirror image' of himself
A former sales director in the UK has been awarded more than $86,000 after his boss allegedly told him he didn't want a team of"bald-headed 50-year-old men."
In 2020, the company sought to hire a new salesperson. Jones claims that during that interview process, his boss, Phillip Hesketh, told him,"A lot of the candidates we were interviewing were a mirror image of me, white middle-aged men" and that"it was a shame that we did not attract more diversity into the application process."
As for Jones' departure from the company, he was put on a performance improvement plan, which he calls a"sham," a few years after joining. Hesketh claimed he was"underwhelmed" by his employee and that Jones"needed handholding," but the tribunal said it was"unable to find that the claimant was actually not performing adequately." . The tribunal ultimately ruled that Tango Networks had unfairly dismissed Jones and breached its contract with him.
