Litton, Letton, Lyton😄

I think that is testament to the quality of the audio you've all been complaining about.

That's awful Myrtle - take care of yourself, I'll copy&past TT stuff till you come back, all fixed up.

BB has it right, Andrew Letton, is apparently VP of people shared services

Let’s call the whole thing off!

We have our first "I'm not sure" response

Done.

If you're OK to continue Myrtle I'll hand back to you, hope you've sorted everything out and feel ok

Thank you. Had to explain to DH as well.

All sorted now.

Yes, but he wasn't when his photo was posted, and we couldn't have known he was going to be the witness.
Also - posting the photo three times and not posting anyone else's photo.

He must be able to feel her eyes on him.

(I'm probably only imagining the laser beams)

perhaps I’m being too suspicious but is the talk of flexible working in order to make a claim that MK could have worked from home and therefore not suffer any detrimental consequences from TW in female toilets?

From TT

ST Your role?
AR People function in co. Attraction and engagement, talent development, people services and analytics. Six disciplines in my job inc benefits, compensation, pensions, travel employee relations.
ST Are there people reporting to you for each discipline.
AR Yes
ST Who do you report to
AR X Allen.

ST Where is she based?
AR [missed]
ST Could you describe c security on site.
AR Majority of work is re UK defence. Class X facility. Superior vetting. [describes c access to site for public]
ST Individual staff members - some may only have access to one building or area?
AR Yes, there is security clearance needed for access

They will try anything.

Working from home due to employer imposed urinary leash is not a good look.

I'm wondering if AR actually know how many female employees they have, since they no doubt only record gender.

Maria looks so composed, sat upright, checking her notes in the gallery row behind Andy Letton. Letton's bundle file is notably unopened and untouched on the witness desk as he answers questions fromLeonardo Uk's counsel.

None of this is a good look especially when the feelings of men takes precedence over the needs of women.

From TT

AR [explains c different security protocols, badge access, etc]
ST Are you based in Phase 1 or 2
AR Dept based in Phase 2. Since covid gave up facility and predominantly work from home, and travel. Me more in Phase 2 site
ST Does co have system to swipe in and record who on site on particular day?
AR Yes
ST System is called?
