    Don’t want to get called Darth Vader? Don’t act like Darth Vader.

    When my daughter was about 3 1/2-4 she woke up earlier than I one morning and wanted to do something with me. My wife told her to wake me and ask me about doing said activity (what she wanted to do escapes me, maybe go to the park) my daughter refused until she knew if I had taken my Darth Vader pills yet or not. It was eye awakening for me that my kid thought I was so mean at times I was like Vader. It really did a lot for me to try and tone down my temper and disposition.

    In August 2021, members of Rooke’s team took a Star Wars themed Myers-Briggs questionnaire as a team-building exercise.

    I’d hate working there.

    Rooke did not participate as she had to take a personal phone call but when she returned a colleague, Amanda Harber, had filled it out on her behalf and announced that she had the same personality type as Vader – real name Anakin Skywalker.

    It makes sense she’d be pissed.

    oh no

    UK libel laws are fucking insane to me. Way over the top.

    Edit: You know what? In the USA, where you have to show actual harm, I’m happy to say that Lorna Rooke doesn’t just have the personality of Darth Vader. She fucking is Darth Vader.

      This was not libel.

      It was workplace harassment. And would also be a issue in the US.

      If you actually read what happened. The person that did this was an absolute arsehole.

      Filling in a personality test for a 3rd party while she is away. Then announcing your own negative result to all attendies when she arrives. While at an official work event.

      Is a clear case of harradement and abuse. The company not responding to this, And the victim feeling the need to resign. Is a valid reason to take it to court.

      PS Your response with 0 knowledge of the victim. Make you a bully. Anywhere.

        If you actually read…

        I know that the law in the UK is fucking shit. I don’t know the details because I don’t practice law. I responded with my interpretation of what I thought I read, because I read it.
