 Worker Wins Compensation For Being Promoted | | By: Phantom | Published: 08/16/1999 | | |  |

BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) -
A British office worker was awarded more than $100,000
in compensation for job-related stress because she became
depressed after being promoted against her will.
Former Birmingham City clerical worker Beverley Lancaster, 44,
retired on health grounds after being appointed to a more senior
post, a court heard. She said the city council broke promises to
offer her training and support for the senior job, for which she
had no experience or qualifications.
After being promoted in 1993, she was repeatedly off sick before
she retired in 1997. Judge Frances Kirkham said she agreed that
Lancaster's job had led to psychiatric illness.
After the hearing Monday, Lancaster said: "I should still be
working. My employers should have listened to me but I was
treated like a number, not a human being.''
