It's an odd one. The 'new girl' fukked up, the supervisor apologised straight away and offered vouchers. Even at the hearing, the aujudicator said:
In his findings, Mr Baneham stated that he accepted the bona fides of the employee's evidence.
Mr Baneham stated: "She apologised to the complainant and did not intend to humiliate her or make her feel uncomfortable … I fully accept that this was a mistake on her part and one that she regrets. I accept, therefore, that it was not the employee's intention to harass the complainant."
Yet the company still got stuck with a €12k fine!
They'll be fining shopkeepers next for giving the 'evil eye' to their customers ::fds

Thai woman jailed for record 43 years for criticising monarchy

A Thai woman has been jailed for 43 years for criticising the royal family, the country's harshest ever sentence for insulting the monarchy.
The former civil servant, known only as Anchan, posted audio clips from a podcast on social media.
The 63-year-old said she had simply shared the audio files and had not commented on the content.
Thailand's lèse-majesté law, which forbids any insult to the monarchy, is among the strictest in the world.
After a three-year break, Thailand revived the controversial law late last year in an attempt to curb months of anti-government protests, with demonstrators demanding changes to the monarchy.

Risking it all to challenge the monarchy

Anchan pleaded guilty to 29 separate violations of sharing and posting clips on YouTube and Facebook between 2014 and 2015, her lawyer told the Reuters news agency.
She was initially sentenced to 87 years, but this was cut in half because of her guilty plea.
Anchan is among a group of 14 people charged with lèse-majesté shortly after a military junta seized power in 2014, vowing to stamp out criticism of the monarchy.
The group is accused of uploading podcasts, popular in dissident circles, which questioned official accounts of the monarchy. The author of the podcasts served only two years in jail, and has already been released.
The trial was held behind closed doors and the evidence against the defendant kept secret for reasons of national security.

That someone accused only of uploading these clips to social media should be given such a harsh sentence, so long after the original arrests, suggests the authorities want to send a warning to other dissidents to stop talking about the monarchy.
During a wave of student-led protests last year there was open questioning of the wealth, the political role and personal life of King Vajiralongkorn on a scale never seen in Thailand before.
More than 40 mainly young activists have been charged with lèse-majesté over the past few weeks, some multiple times.
Until the end of last year the law, which has been condemned by UN human rights officials as excessively severe, had been suspended for a three-year period, at the king's request.
That leniency has clearly come to an end.
