A British woman sued her former employer for not giving her a farewell card, but lost the case when she found out the card had been bought—though hardly anyone had signed it.
Karen Conaghan had worked as a lead business liaison for International Airlines Group (IAG) since 2019, as The Guardian reported. In her lawsuit, she claimed that the absence of a card was a “failure to acknowledge her existence,” and a breach of equality law.
In court, Conaghan’s former co-worker testified that they did buy her a card, but didn’t give it to her, since only three people had signed it.
