Anita Briggs, a digital content producer, wins £20K after being unfairly dismissed for not posting enough on social media
Edinburgh: A social media worker just scored over £20,000 after being fired for not posting enough. Anita Briggs worked for the National Museums of Scotland.
She only made six posts in one month, while her colleague made 73. The tribunal found she wasn’t given enough warnings before her dismissal.
Anita had been with the organization since 2009. Her job was to create content for their social media. But she struggled with deadlines and made a lot of typos.
After failing three performance reviews, her bosses lost confidence in her. They decided to let her go, but the tribunal disagreed.
They said she deserved a fair warning before being fired. The judge noted that the museum didn’t follow their own performance policy.
In the end, Anita was awarded £22,210.75. It’s a big win for her, showing that employees deserve fair treatment.
