Two prominent real estate agents are in court waging a defamation battle after a company’s boss sent a negative all-staff email about another manager.
Former Real Estate Institute of Victoria president Leah Calnan is being sued over a note she allegedly sent to employees at her property management business criticising the former operations manager.
“I wanted to acknowledge the team members who I have spoken to so far that have felt let down, disappointed and frustrated with our previous operations manager, Lauren. It appears there were many things happening behind my back and perhaps it was assumed I knew.” While Macpherson can’t say exactly how many staff read the note, she argued most would have opened it because “it was a derogatory email from their boss concerning a former boss.”
“For the behaviour that wasn’t fitting of an operations manager. For the awkwardness you felt asking a question. For dismissing ideas you had to make the business better and the favouritism given to a few team members over the rest of the team.” The comment turned out to be prescient: her County Court writ was prepared by defamation barrister Toby Mullen.
