Manager Accidentally Reveals Employee's Lack of Bonus in Meeting

A woman working as an apprentice in a firm was humiliated when her senior manager accidentally displayed a spreadsheet of everyone's bonuses on-screen during a meeting, revealing that she was the only employee not getting a bonus. She later received an email containing a spreadsheet with planned bonuses for everyone working on the project, but she was never mentioned. The incident played a huge role in her mental health struggles and she has anxiety around emails and thinks everyone she works with hates her. Commenters suggested that the spreadsheet incidents were no accident and that she should sue the company for discrimination, but she explained that the period for discrimination claims had passed and pursuing a claim would be extremely difficult.
