I’m going to guess that the three people who did sign the card are either spineless doormats or just did it to get the card off their desk as soon as possible.

Either way, I wish her luck with the job hunt. I’ll bet employers can’t wait to hire a paranoid, hypersensitive pain in the ass who sues at the drop of a hat.

I would just sign the card because it's the path of least resistance and makes no difference to me. How much of a doormat I am plays no role. Lol

It's basic decency to me. You don't have to like someone to be courteous.

Maybe it has different social significance in UK

No it does not. Left plenty of crappy jobs without ceremony

Based on the article, she might have been hated not just disliked.

She said another employee had asked her: “Are you taking the piss, Karen?” The tribunal heard that this was after Conaghan suggested she had “done all of the hard work” and it was his “turn to do some”.
