I feel like we're burying the lead by suggesting he got money because of an unwanted party. He was fired because of a medical disorder triggered by the party and was compensated for wrongful termination.

- throwawayboise 5y agoDisability aside, a lot of people don't like birthday parties at work, for various reasons. For example I think some religions forbid celebrating ones birthday. Other people just don't like it and think it's inappropriate for an office setting. I don't think it's an unreasonable request to not have one's birthday recognized at work, for whatever reason stated or unstated.
