A woman who had worked for New Zealand’s Inland Revenue Department (IRD) for 14 years has lost her claim of unjustified disadvantage and constructive dismissal over a comment she made on an internal forum that other staff found offensive.
When Christine Massof became aware that IRD was providing period products to staff by placing them in both male and female bathrooms, she posted a comment on IRD’s internal intranet.
