Employment Judge Kathryn Ramsden said: ‘[Mrs Hamilton’s] evidence was that there was no change in Mr Nayeck’s behaviour after the formal mediation, save that rather than making tea for everyone else besides [Mrs Hamilton], he now made tea for no one.
But things didn’t get better – Mrs Hamilton claimed Nayeck’s only change to his behaviour was making tea for no one.
Susan Hamilton said her coworker Abdool Nayeck made the hot drinks for everyone in her team except her – after she raised concerns about his job performance.
It was then that Nayeck stopped making tea for Mrs Hamilton when he would make it for everyone else.
A year after their first mediation, Nayeck wrote a lengthy complaint against Mrs Hamilton, alleging that he had been bullied by her over the preceding two years.
