She played that one well. Post traumatic stress disorder ffs.

 

[joe-90]

Basically it means she can live in luxury for the rest of her life for being useless.

You have to really ask who is on the tribunal panel to award this amount especially with all nhs trusts struggling for cash...it must be the same panel that awards lottery grants giving nothing to kids football/dance /sports teams but award hundreds of thousands to muslim gay groups....I hate them all

 

[joe-90]

She'll never work again because she doesn't need to - not because she can't.

 

[Alarm]

Hey Joe, show this to your daughter.
You`ll be set up for retirement totally

Funny cos I bet if she could give the money back and go back in time to were it never happened I bet she would!!

 

[joe-90]

Eh? What happened?

Hmmmm, Are you all condoning discrimination against a woman , simply because she decides to have a child then?? Perhaps any job should only be open to men (or women who have had a hysterectomy).
Read the bloody article..

It said colleagues mounted a "concerted campaign" to bring her employment to an end while she was on maternity leave.

This.

The tribunal earlier this year heard that senior staff members began a plan to get rid of Dr Michalak, who worked as an obstetrician, at a secret meeting in March 2003, when she was seven months pregnant.

And this.

The tribunal panel said there were repeated references made to Dr Michalak's Polish origin during telephone conversations and meetings between her colleagues, where they questioned her competency because she trained in her home country.

Do these Senior Staff, also question the competency of Asian doctors in the hospital?? Somehow I doubt it.

Why did senior staff feel the need to hold a secret meeting, just because she was pregnant??

OK perhaps the final award, is a bit over the top, but look at potential earnings, and the fact that her husband has had to pack in work to look after her (he's a doctor too)

Would any of us not want compensation for being hounded out of the job we love? (Note her job is a vocation rather than a 9-5 job cleaning bogs.

She was obviously crap at the job that's why they wanted her out. Why couldn't she just get a job down the road? What about the troops coming back from Afghan? Post traumatic stress from getting the elbow? FFS.

She was obviously crap at the job that's why they wanted her out. :

Can you quantify that statement Joe?? How does one have to be crap at a job for colleagues to want you out? Could it be some colleagues were jealous and actually wanted her job?.
Seems the tribunal didn't feel the same way as you.

 

[joe-90]

If she were any good she's be popular. It's your money in here pocket.

An Obstetrician working in United Kingdom, now earns an average annual salary of 157,408, so...

£4,452,206.60 divided by 157,408 = same as 28 years of work as an OBs.

If her hubby is no longer working, and off work to take care of her, then the payout also pays his 'wages' give or take...

total = 14 years of pay, each.

BBC news online: Tuesday, July 6, 1999

'After Stephen, end NHS racism'

"...Dr Mukti Bhattacharyya, a consultant at Manchester Royal Infirmary, proposed a second motion calling on the BMA to work to expose examples of discrimination throughout the health service..."

"...A person's sexuality, having English as a second language and being a woman were all factors that could lead to discrimination, he said..."

2012 - 1999 = ? wow! things still the same!

 

[joe-90]

Why can't she get another job?
