Critical feedback | Performance review describing 'messy work' was not discrimination, tribunal rules

A senior HR manager who accused his employer of disability discrimination over comments about his “messy work” has had his claims dismissed by an employment tribunal.

Mr Thomas Shevlin brought claims of discrimination arising from disability and harassment related to disability against his former employer, John Wiley and Sons Ltd. The East London tribunal found that Shevlin, who had ADHD and dyslexia, but did not disclose it during his employment, failed to show that critical feedback in his performance review was discriminatory.
