💨 Abstract

An employment tribunal ruled that labeling someone a 'Karen' is 'borderline racist, sexist, and ageist.' Charity worker Sylvia Constance, 75, was dismissed by Harpenden Mencap in 2023 amid bullying and abuse allegations. Her representative, Christine Yates, criticized the management's behavior, comparing it to 'stereotypical Karens,' which the judge deemed inappropriate. The tribunal dismissed Constance's discrimination claims, finding her dismissal legitimate.
