Dressing like that has nothing to do with 'identity' and everything to do with a celebration of other people's discomfort. It's entirely, self-indulgently performative.

Average weekly earnings are currently between £647 and £689 in the UK. With statutory maternity pay (SMP), for the first 6 weeks of maternity leave, you get 90% of your average weekly earnings, after which it drops to £184.03. No small business has folded because they pay SMP

If NHS hospitals cannot function because the nurses go, the "if you don't like it, leave" brigade will have to pay private hospital fees for treatment...ironically funding the same nurses' higher private salaries that they were unwilling to do when they worked in the NHS. D'oh.

🤔 Unlikely that the individual didn't enquire about renewal. Failing to renew a fixed term employment contract without reasonable grounds is actually a potential unfair dismissal claim. This wouldn't apply if it was a contractor, rather than employee.

If a genuine work meeting, it's quite possible that could breach the employer's confidentiality policies & be a disciplinary matter. A public restaurant is not a controlled environment & a work meeting often includes 'confidential, internal use only' content. "If", of course. 😅

🧵If GC views are protected beliefs, then there is an argument that the opposing GI views might also qualify for protection. If Tilly can show reasonable grounds for believing she's been discriminated against, the burden of proof shifts to the employer to prove they didn't. [...]
Could "Tilly v Waterstone's" be the first gender identity belief discrimination case? When I read about these facts, I saw some parallels with Higgs v Farmer's School.

I agree, and I've commented similarly in some HR publications: the labour shortage in certain sectors is being compounded by Brexit & post-Brexit changes to immigration rules.
Scientists fear tough UK immigration rules will deter talent.

As per my comment in this article: there's a difference between attracting and retaining talent to your organisation. Salary and flexible working are attractive, but good cultures and fulfilling work are what make people stick around.
