A glamorous £95,000-a-year tech worker who sued her boss for racism after he did not offer her champagne at an office party has been told by a judge she could have just helped herself. Ms Foley, 30, who earned a basic salary of £75,000 a year plus a £20,000 bonus, brought a total of 14 allegations of discrimination, harassment and victimisation against her employer. Concluding that Ms Foley had enjoyed exactly the same opportunity as everyone else in the room, he added: 'She chose not to take a glass.' It was not the only extraordinary claim Ms Foley made about her 18 months at the firm. Before bringing her tribunal claim, Ms Foley had raised four grievances internally with the firm.
