A pregnant consultant has been awarded nearly £94,000 in compensation after being fired via text message—complete with a 'jazz hands' emoji—when she requested to work from home due to severe morning sickness.
Paula Miluska, an investment consultant at Roman Property Group (RPG) in Birmingham, was dismissed after informing her employer that she was struggling with pregnancy-related illness. A tribunal later ruled that her termination was discriminatory, ultimately finding in favour of the expecting mother.
