Yusuf is a senior account handler for a large carpet manufacturing company called 'Cumfy Carpets' (CC) Ltd. As CC was so successful, it was decided that the accounts department should be expanded, and the decision was taken by CC to promote one of the current account handlers to the position of Accounts Manager. One of the senior managers within the company encouraged Yusuf to apply, saying that he was 'the best account handler they have' and would be 'an obvious choice' for the role. Yusuf applied for the promotion, believing he had a good chance of getting it. However, he was not even invited for an interview. Instead, the promotion was given to a junior account handler. Yusuf was surprised by this, particularly as he was the most qualified account handler, with the highest sales figures in the company. When he asked why he had not been interviewed, he was told it was because he didn't fit 'the company image'. Yusuf believes this is due to him wearing his traditional religious dress to the workplace. Earlier this year, Yusuf had asked if the weekly staff team meetings could be changed or varied as they were always held at 12 o'clock, each Friday. Yusuf's religion requires him to pray at this time. His request was denied, and he was told that attending the meetings was compulsory for all staff. Yusuf is very upset about this and also wants to do something about not getting the promotion. He does not want to leave as, overall, he enjoys working at CC. Stan also works at CC. He has suffered with severe depression for over ten years and regularly attends therapy sessions to treat his depressive disorder. Recently, Stan's mum died and this has worsened his depression, making it difficult for him to come into work. Stan asked his manager for a phased return. This would mean that Stan would return for two days a week, then three days a week, increasing until he was back to five days a week. Stan's manager refused this request and called Stan a 'lazy idler'. Stan was so upset that he resigned. a.
