Worker taunted by cruel boss wins £37,000 compo

AN office manager branded a "snowflake" by her boss has won more than £37,000 in compensation after he told her she used the menopause as an "excuse for everything".

Karen Farquharson was left distraught after "blunt-talking" company founder Jim Clark accused her of "strolling in" when it suited her.

He also told her to "just get on with it" when she explained she had been off the day before due to the symptoms she was suffering.

Aberdeen businessman Clark - who had a "pet hate" of people not turning up to work dismissed her ordeal as "aches and pains", an employment tribunal heard.
