Really wonder what the though process was regarding firing an employee who told them not to throw a party because they have an anxiety disorder, for having an anxiety attack.
- sudden_dystopia 5y agoThe million dollar question. They were probably got embarrassed and fired them in a rage/panic for “causing” them the embarrassment.
- Aaronstotle 5y agoI'm surprised their legal/HR didn't push back or realize how much more this would cost them, I suspect your right that they felt embarrassed.
- spacemanmatt 5y agoI've been in socially-similar situations to this one, and I suspect it went a bit like this: Person says "don't do this thing, it will hurt me." Group says, "no it won't," or otherwise dismisses/forgets. Group does the thing. Person is injured, predictably, and takes protective/evasive actions. Group or subset of group becomes offended that person has taken protective/evasive actions, correctly believing actions to implicate the group's bad behavior. Group or subset of group smears their victim, amplifies or otherwise doubles-down on their initial misunderstanding or neglect of person's request not to injure them.
