Grainne Sherlock v Pluralsight Ireland Ltd [2024]

Background:
The Complainant claimed her selection for redundancy followed a pre-determined process that appeared manipulated. She began employment with the Respondent in the UK/Ireland Commercial team and was promoted twice, most recently to Director of the Digital Sales (“SMB”) team in 2022. Tensions existed between the UK and Dublin Commercial teams, with the Complainant feeling excluded. In December 2022, it was announced that the Complainant's role would be regionalised, and only five of the eight leadership positions would remain. The Complainant argued the selection process for redundancy lacked transparency and was biased, with an 80:20 weighting between interview and past performance
