'Closed-mind' | BT duo accused of 'inciting violence' against colleague in Teams chat were wrongly sacked

BT unfairly dismissed two call-centre workers after allegations that their Microsoft Teams messages “could be deemed as inciting violence” and, in one case, “inciting violence and hate”, an employment tribunal has ruled.

A judge found that Kasam Khokhar and Lynsey Miller were both unfairly dismissed for gross misconduct, awarding them a combined sum of more than £57,000.
