A travel consultant who felt 'super anxious' after being asked to have her camera on while working from home has successfully sued her employer for disability discrimination.
Laura Tait was asked to 'start with it on and to see how it went' but the request was so overwhelming she had to leave the meeting and log off.
Ms Tait, who worked from home as a travel consultant for Holiday Extras call centre, asked her bosses to do fewer calls with customers, despite around 80 per cent of her job involving them.
She then sued her employer for failing to provide a number of 'reasonable adjustments', including the 'ability to join meetings with camera off'.
The tribunal was told: On 24 August 2023 [Ms Tait] was doing a remote training session by video and asked to have her camera off as she felt 'super anxious'.
'She was asked to start with it on and to see how she went. However, she was not able to cope and so she was told that was fine and to log off.'
She was granted sick leave in October 2023 with work related stress and anxiety, and has not returned to work since.
In April 2024, Ms Tait complained she had been discriminated against because her adjustment requests had not been granted.
Her grievance was dismissed in October, and her appeal against this decision was not granted.

Prolly a scammer who trained her pet monkey to do her work from home job. Or she has tattoos on her face - neck and a huge nose ring
I can see me going to my father and telling him I had anxiety. If I wasn’t under a mortar bombardment during a Banzai attack, then I was fine.
“You’re hired. Your salary will be X”
“But I can’t actually do my job and because of that, I am taking you to court.”
“The judgment in your favor will be 100X.”
And now on her resume she has a history of suing her employer that should go over well
Bee keepers get paid for the work their bees do in orchards. If she can train her monkey to do the work why shouldn’t she reap the rewards?
