> None of that excuses MS not providing support... I am not sure what the point of your entire comment is. You can't compare fear of heights to watching child porn, murder, rape, and other horrific crimes all day. Almost 99.9 percent of the population is going to develop psychological issues. MS should have provided support knowing what this role entails, they didn't. So here is the suit.

And when some bits of MS provided support (take extra time off) other bits of MS were disapproving when the men used that support. > Supervisors authorized him and others to leave work early when they broke down or became overwhelmed by the trauma associated with viewing the depictions. Leaving early on occasions of breaking down was part of the ‘Wellness Plan.’ However, Mr. Blauert was criticized in employment reviews for following his wellness plan.”

  Leaving work "early" isn't a viable wellness plan.

    And becomes a complete joke if you are then made to feel guilty about it.

>You can't compare fear of heights to watching child porn, murder, rape, and other horrific crimes all day I wasn't. My point was that this can't exactly have been a surprise. It's a little like me (being afraid of heights) signing up for skyscraper cleaning and then somehow being surprised when I don't cope. This job is going to involve review of horrible scaring stuff...it says so on the tin. >MS should have provided support knowing what this role entails, they didn't. So here is the suit. Oh yeah definitely. I realise that & said so...and you even quoted me saying so...???
