Estate agent gets £21,000 payout after complaining he was given ‘low status’ desk
A senior real estate agent won a payment of £ 21,000 after a table that weakens its authority.
53 -year -old Nicholas Walker, after moving branches to Robsons real estate agents in Hertfordshire, “upset” and said he would not sit at the “back” table, which was accepted as the place of the manager.
He resigned from his position and told a court that he felt that his seniority in the company, where he has been employed since 2015, was not reflected on the “low status” table.
After hearing that he was upset, Sales Director Daniel Young said that “AF ***** G 53 -year -old man” or a man a man of your age ”could not believe that he was making a fuss about a table.
However, in March, an employment court decided in his favor, ie employees who have given a table under their status may request legal action.
Such a seating arrangement may conclude that they are “logical” as “logical”, “destroying or seriously damaging the worker’s relationship with their employers”.
The hearing in Watford has heard that Mr. Walker was a branch manager in Robsons in Rickmansworth since 2017.
He moved to the Chorleywood branch in 2022, but he was asked to return to his original branch in 2023 after the reserve resignation.
Mr. Young decided that he should share his role with a branch manager with a young colleague, but this was not discussed with Mr. Walker, who believed he had returned to his original position.
After returning to the office, his colleague was offered on the back table, and the middle table was offered, which helped to be “practical and symbolic” importance as it was with books and notebooks.
In this news, he said to the court that he was “upset ve and said to Mr. Young, orum I don’t come back … and I don’t sit in the middle.”
A meeting between the two “rose quickly” and caused Mr. Walker to resign from his position. Two days later, when he tried to save the situation, Mr. Young did not return his call and the date of departure came to the fore.
In March, the court concluded that he had the right to see the table change as a “discount ..
Judge Reindorf Kc said: ” [Mr Walker’s] From the point of view, it was said that Mr. Gooder was sitting at the back table and he would sit at the middle table, he would be the Deputy Director and Mr. Gooder’s branch manager.
“This was a logical result for the logistics of the Rickmansworth movement to draw the conditions in which communication with it is weak.”
The decision continued: “Either being an assistant manager or being a partner with Mr. Gooder will mean a discount because it is the only manager responsible for the branch when compared with his role in Chorleywood and previously in Rickmansworth.”
As a result, £ 21.411.29 was currently awarded for the compensation for unfair dismissal.
