@bellethelawyer: An NHS worker has just won a harassment claim… because a colleague kept calling her “auntie”. #lawyer #employmentlaw #employee #employer #employeerights

retreat :

Auntie is a sign of respect in many cultures

asagacity :

She asked him multiple times not to call her auntie and to call her by her name. He ignored her wishes and it's disrespectful in a workplace. as simple as that

HRB :

that is not disrespectful

SwexiPlexi :

There is more to that story. It wasn't just because of that. She was harassed by that individual, not just what she was called.

Steve :

auntie/uncle is respectful to an older person

neutraliser007 :

bro come on this is silly

PD :

If you read through the case there is much much more to the harrassment than just calling her 'Auntie'

Chef Keffy🇵🇰 :

I don’t think it’s disrespectful but there’s no need to be informal with a colleague at work, especially if there’s no friendly communication between them.

Calling someone something that you know makes them uncomfortable is disrespectful and is harassment in workplace settings.

Some of my younger colleagues (my son’s age) call me “Mum,” and I love it.
