The judge added that Conaghan exhibited a "conspiracy-theory mentality" and misinterpreted "normal workplace interactions" as harassment. The example offered was when Conaghan wrote "whiz" in a coworker's card then claimed another colleague was copying her when they used "whizz" in a different card.

The Guardian reported she also complained after a coworker asked, "Are you taking the piss, Karen?," a popular British term meaning making fun of someone, after she claimed she was doing "all the hard work."

What a lovely person

Karen Conaghan sued the…

Ah, there it is

Emotional damage.

Karen Conaghan

Could we be looking that the origin story of Karen?

Clearly sounds like undiagnosed mental illness. I hope that lady gets some help.

[off topic?]

My boss's boss was named "Johnson." One day, I accidentally referred to him as "Jackson." None of the people I was talking to corrected me. I decided to try a little experiment and kept on using the wrong name. I used the wrong name dozens and dozens of times and never got called out.

Not her name literally being Karen though

I hope she decided to sue when she ran into one of her former colleagues at the shop who was like "oh yeah Karen, I've got no idea why you didn't receive a card. They're probably harassing you" while trying to exit the conversation as quickly as possible.

I wonder why

say what you want about America and its ridiculous lawsuit happiness... but I've never seen anyone in America sue over a farewell card they didnt get, presumably because they're the kind of selfinvolved asshole that sues over not getting a goddamn card

Based company it seems.
