Woman Fired For Using Uppercase In Email

An accountant in NZ has been awarded NZ$17,000 for unfair dismissal after her boss fired her without warning for using uppercase letters in a single email to co-workers. The email, which advises her team how to fill out staff claim forms, specifies a time and date highlighted in bold red, and a sentence written in capitals and highlighted in bold blue. It reads: To ensure your staff claim is processed and paid, please do follow the below checklist.
