An admin worker has won almost £20,000 after her elderly male boss suggested she should take her clothes off in the office while working on a hot day. Tina Donlon was wearing shorts to keep cool at work in the summer when Leslie Easton made the sexist remark, an employment tribunal heard.
The 78-year-old said "Well, we keep telling her to take all her clothes off, but she won’t have any of it" in response to a customer remarking on what she was wearing. The tribunal also heard Mr Easton said "ooh, while you’re down there, love" when Miss Donlon went to pick a pen off the floor, insinuating that she should perform a sexual act on him.
And she was also subjected to "persistent" WhatsApp messages of nearly 150 sexual and misogynistic "memes and videos" from her boss. When she was asked about his behaviour, she was told Mr Easton was "old school" and "from a different generation".
