Even though John Waudby, 54, had requested an ADA accommodation, and could do his work sufficiently from home, he was instructed by a supervisor to get his a** on-site or find another job, according to a federal discrimination lawsuit obtained by The Independent. It was further communicated to [Waudby] by his training director, [T]he company does not care about your ADA accommodation. Either come on-site or find another job,' Waudby's complaint states.

When he complained, however, it says he was soon fired."
