Daniel Canneaux, who lost his job because of his antics was unfairly dismissed, a tribunal ruled[/caption]
He also put a model of a penis on a female colleague’s desk and drew one on her car, the employment tribunal heard.
Mr Canneaux is also said to have had a poor attitude at work and sometimes called colleagues “retards” and “fat”.
His bosses at Land Science in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, began disciplinary action against him, the panel was told.
The company claimed he failed to complete work he was assigned to do from home before being furloughed at the start of the pandemic and that he took a company pressure washer without permission.

But he was made redundant six days before a gross misconduct hearing was due to take place.
Mr Canneaux then sued for unfair dismissal and unauthorised deductions of wages.
The London South employment tribunal agreed that Mr Canneaux had been treated “very poorly” and awarded him £2,650 compensation.
Judge Daniel Dyal said the disciplinary action was leverage so redundancy “seemed like a good option” and he would go quietly.

It’s nearly the end of the year, a time when many a person’s thoughts turn to the birth of Jesus Christ (along with whether or not they’re getting FIFA 23 on Christmas morning). Forget about other games for the moment though, because one developer’s bringing The Bible itself to Steam. The appropriately named Bible Games are releasing a fully voiced version of the good book on November 14th, complete with trivia quizzes to check your biblical knowledge. You can watch the surprisingly dramatic trailer below.

Google’s putting its Lens image search right on its home page

Google has been integrating its Lens image recognition tech into several of its products for quite a while now, including Google Photos and Chrome, but now it’s putting it front and center. As 9to5Google points out, Google’s added a Lens button right to its home page, in its famous search bar. That’s a big deal, according to Rajan Patel, a vice president of engineering at Google who’s in charge of Search and Lens — as he said on Tuesday, the Google homepage doesn’t change often.
Clicking on the Lens button (a little camera in Google-y colors) prompts you to upload an image or paste a URL to one. Once you do so, you’ll be taken to a page that’s pretty familiar if you’ve ever used the Lens app or any of its other integrations.

Overwatch 2 is putting Mei… *on ice*
![Screenshot from Overwatch featuring the heroine Mei, a medium height Chinese woman in a blue and white winter overcoat and brown hair with a snowflake hair pin sticking out](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/SegZpzT1KbWyU1pceo2EyOcnnZE=/150x0:1770x1080/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/71567794/mei.0.png)
The scariest thing in Overwatch 2 right now isn’t the Junkenstein’s Revenge: Wrath of the Bride event but a bugged Mei. Players, take heed and take heart: the demon of quick play, the terror lurking the ladder, the creature of comp is being temporarily disabled to address a glitch.
[#OW2] We are temporarily disabling Mei to address a bug with her Ice Wall ability that allows heroes to reach unintended locations. We are working to address these issues as quickly as possible and aim to bring Mei back in our next upcoming patch which is set for November 15. pic.twitter.com/dHP65pMCsX

Valkyrie Elysium Review – Putting the “Mid” In Midgard
Names hold a lot of power, particularly in the world of entertainment media. When the name of a beloved franchise is attached to something, it brings a lot of things with it: nostalgia, excitement, and perhaps most importantly, expectations. Valkyrie Elysium is no different: It bears the name and lineage of an RPG series known for daring, experimental gameplay and storytelling that’s fervently beloved by a loyal group of fans. Unfortunately, this middling action-RPG that the Valkyrie titling is attached to bears little resemblance to the bold, beloved games that preceded it.
The story of Valkyrie Elysium, set up during a brief cinematic at the beginning, takes place smack-dab in the middle of Ragnarok, the end of the world foretold in Norse mythology. Odin, the All-Father and highest of the gods, has been mortally wounded in a battle with Fenrir and requires the strength of souls to restore his power so that he can revive the dying world. To accomplish this, he summons forth a Valkyrie, the legendary vessel of the gods who leads chosen souls to glory in Valhalla. Valkyrie is tasked with purifying wicked souls, finding the worthy to bring to Odin, and recovering sacred treasures. But, as you might expect, all is not entirely what it seems, and Valkyrie faces a conflict between her duty as a servant of Odin and her increasingly conflicted emotions.
If you’ve played the original Valkyrie Profile, you’ll recognize many very similar story beats here–but without the emotional weight or interesting character drama. The transformation of Valkyrie from devoted, single-minded soldier to conflicted heroine doesn’t feel genuine: We’re simply told that she’s becoming more empathetic to humans with little evidence to back it up. The Einherjar–fallen warriors who Valkyrie recruits to aid her in battle–have some interesting backstories, albeit told in a haphazard, disjointed means that’s supposed to inspire curiosity and mystique but only leaves you confused until you read their profiles and play some side quests.
