Tech exec who slept in sauna can pursue £76M from Gitpod, tribunal rules

Tech executive Shannon Burns can pursue £76 million in compensation from Gitpod after winning a disability discrimination case. Burns was dismissed after sleeping in a sauna during an Austria work trip after forgetting her room key. The tribunal rejected Gitpod’s bid to cap her claim at £1 million, while the company’s acquisition by OpenAI could affect her shares.
