@Sherri_Ingrey@spinster.xyz Over twenty years ago I knew a nurse whose friend (also a nurse who travelled between clients doing home visits) had been sacked. A colleague she kindly gave a lift home to regularly noticed cigarette butts in her car and reported her for smoking on duty. She only smoked in her own car between clients, never in their presence and never in the health centre, but the management concluded that being in her own car was the same as being in the health centre. I wonder who gave this colleague a lift home thereafter.
This type of mindset will always be with us. The internet has just magnified it. The causes will change, but the spiteful spirit will not go away.
