NHS Tayside have been found to have harassed and discriminated against a worker by calling her an "Anti-Vaxxer".

What do you think? Judgment here: 🤔💬

Great #networking breakfast this morning at the Bayes Centre, met some lovely new faces and saw some cool robots like Valkyrie, pictured below. We weren't allowed too close though, just her insurance premium alone is £1.8 MILLION per year. Yikes! 😳

UK govt declines most recommendations to support menopausal women in the workplace, but will appoint a Menopause Employment Champion who'll produce progress reports every 6 months. A step in the right direction, but much more needs to be done. #ukemplaw #menopauseintheworkplace
