NHS worker likened to Darth Vader awarded £29,000 at tribunal - BBC News

An employment tribunal in Croydon has awarded NHS worker Lorna Rooke £28,989.61 after a colleague completed a Star Wars-themed personality test on her behalf that categorised her as Darth Vader. The tribunal found the incident was a "detriment" that harmed Ms Rooke, who worked in a blood donation department and felt "unpopular" and suffered low mood and anxiety. Judge Kathryn Ramsden said being aligned with the Star Wars villain was "insulting" and that it was "little wonder" Ms Rooke was upset, since the test was done on another colleague's perception and then shared with the group. The incident was one of the reasons Ms Rooke resigned in 2021, after joining NHS Blood and Transplant in 2003.
