The full story is in the Telegraph but I would say the moral is not to trust organisations like the National Trust that virtue signal with rainbow lanyards and whatnot to get the basics right when it comes to discrimination. It is hard to see from the article why the central management didn't see fit to investigate what was happening at the house and their acceptance of the judgement is very mealy mouthed.

"Her tipping point came when she was rejected for the job in favour of a male applicant who had scored significantly lower than her during the interview process.

Ms Bryant said the National Trust “completely broke her spirit”. She took the charity to an employment tribunal and has now been awarded £49,297.24 in compensation for unfair dismissal, discrimination and harassment."

The NT are similiar to a lot of other large British charities. One of my oldest friends used to work for them as a ranger up in Cumbria, and hasn't a good word to say about them or their supposed "stewardship" of the land.

They rely on volunteers for the necessary work, and pay salaries for a plethora of roles that they then stock with people who haven't a clue.
