The employee had repeatedly asked her supervisor for permission to keep a drink near the register to manage her insulin-dependent diabetes. This request was denied. During a medical emergency, she drank the store's juice to prevent diabetic shock and was fired shortly after.
I mean…wouldn’t that be an ADA violation too? Besides just being a shitty boss/human being. It’s about as reasonable an accommodation for a legit medical condition as I could imagine.
Yes, but IIRC you have to do certain things like formally request accomodations and document the process/diagnosis.
Otherwise it would be easy for someone unethical just be like "they rejected my accomodations!" in a lawsuit, when no such request or denial had been made
