| Subject: Disgraceful: Graduate, 21, wins £3,000 age discrimination payout after boss sacked her for being 'too YOUNG' Thu Dec 05, 2019 4:02 pm | |
| An interior design graduate has won a £3,000 payout from bosses after they were found to have discriminated against her for being too young.
Brooke Shanks, of Glenmavis, North Lanarkshire, was demoted at work by managers who tried to oust her from her first job because she was 'only 21'.
Miss Shanks, who trained in interior design at Edinburgh University, was hired to solely run a kitchen showroom but was devastated when bosses said they were searching for someone older.
One manager claimed the job 'was too much responsibility' for someone her age and said they wanted a supervisor to take over the reins.
An employment tribunal has now ruled Miss Shanks, now 22, was the victim of age discrimination and awarded her £2,002.50 for breach of contract and £1,000 for injury to feelings.
