At the time the semiconductor slinger wanted to get rid of Brocade&#8217;s IP Networking business unit. With no buyer emerging, it decided to make some redundancies.<\/p>\n<p>Selection for redundancy was simple: when the buyout completed in November 2017, Brocade staff were placed in either the Storage Area Network (SAN) unit or the IP unit. The tribunal hearing was told that everyone understood that &#8220;alignment&#8221; to the IP unit meant redundancy, ahead of Broadcom going through the legally required motions.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"top\" data-raptor=\"falcon\" data-xmd=\",fluid,mpu,leaderboard,\" data-lg=\",fluid,mpu,leaderboard,\" data-xlg=\",fluid,billboard,superleaderboard,mpu,leaderboard,\" data-xxlg=\",fluid,billboard,superleaderboard,brandwidth,brandimpact,leaderboard,mpu,\">\n            <noscript><br \/>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_offbeat\/legal&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44Yfp0J-b6Mq@BJB@vnpHrYwAAANM&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D4%26raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_offbeat\/legal&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44Yfp0J-b6Mq@BJB@vnpHrYwAAANM&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D426raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n            <\/noscript>\n        <\/div>\n<div class=\"adun_eagle_desktop_story_wrapper\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"mid\" data-raptor=\"eagle\" data-xxlg=\",mpu,dmpu,\">\n                <noscript><br \/>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_offbeat\/legal&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33Yfp0J-b6Mq@BJB@vnpHrYwAAANM&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_offbeat\/legal&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33Yfp0J-b6Mq@BJB@vnpHrYwAAANM&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n                <\/noscript>\n            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;The respondent&#8217;s decision not to consult employees during the alignment process rendered the formal consultation process meaningless,&#8221; said Employment Judge Hawksworth, presiding.

Brocade&#8217;s UK HR department told the salesman he was in SAN.<\/p>\n<p>Senior managers, however, had other ideas. With Jewell leaving, his number two had no role, they said. Jewell was not happy. A Skype chat with someone identified in the judgment only as Brocade&#8217;s &#8220;UK HR lead&#8221; revealed what was really going on.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Richards was given the bad news by an HR worker, named as &#8220;Ms Dhanoa from HR.&#8221; She said the company&#8217;s change of heart was handled at &#8220;corporate level&#8221; and &#8220;no notes were taken&#8221; of the meeting \u2013 but offered him a settlement agreement, Richards having instructed solicitors by this point.<\/p>\n<p>The tribunal recounted:<\/p>\n<p>No health insurer would take on Richards; either his pre-existing diagnosis or the cost of the premiums made it impossible for him to find new cover.<\/p>\n<p>An unnamed &#8220;senior manager for global benefits&#8221; within Brocade made the decision to cut off the life-extending insurance policy, telling Richards through Ms Dhanoa that he would have to pay his own way.<\/p>\n<p>Richards won his case for unfair dismissal and failure to make reasonable adjustments for his disability, Brocade having failed to apply an objective redundancy policy or adequately consult with him. His complaints of direct and indirect age and disability discrimination failed.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" id=\"story_eagle_xsm_sm_md_xmd_lg_xlg\" data-pos=\"mid\" data-raptor=\"eagle\" data-xsm=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-sm=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-md=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-xmd=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-lg=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-xlg=\",mpu,dmpu,\">\n            <noscript><br \/>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_offbeat\/legal&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33Yfp0J-b6Mq@BJB@vnpHrYwAAANM&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_offbeat\/legal&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33Yfp0J-b6Mq@BJB@vnpHrYwAAANM&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n            <\/noscript>\n        <\/div>\n<p>&#8220;We have not found &#8216;something more&#8217; from which we could conclude that the difference in treatment was because of the claimant&#8217;s disability.
