Members of staff alleged she was “dictatorial'
A council’s former human resources manager who colleagues said was “destructive and warring” has failed in her bid to take legal action against the authority. Aime Armstrong worked for East Northamptonshire Council from November 2010 until she was sacked for gross misconduct in June 2019.
She said she had raised concerns about the council with senior managers in 2017 and 2018, which included a complaint that she believed should have been on a higher pay scale. But the tribunal heard problems with Mrs Armstrong’s conduct flared up in early 2018, with members of staff alleging she was “dictatorial, restricting and frustrating rather than enabling” and passed on confidential information from colleagues onto others.
Some managers said they “preferred to receive HR advice in writing rather than in a verbal conversation because they did not trust what they were being told” by Mrs Armstrong. Other staff said chats seeking advice from her resulted in “conflict”. After a period of sick leave, Mrs Armstrong was eventually sacked by the authority in June 2019. She appealed and alleged the finding was because she had asked for equal pay in line with another manager, bullying, harassment, whistleblowing and because a senior member of staff was biased against her.
