As much as I'd like to support the guy, when you work for someone you play by their rules.

Sad but true. I stopped shopping at Home Depot along time ago anyway.

It is Home Depot's RIGHT to fire ANYONE for ANY REASON........

All the political correctness ********, and EVERYTHING else that legislates when and why and WHO a company can hire or FIRE is completely WRONG.

Flip it around for a second.........

A Christian company finds out that their sales person is GAY.........and the company is losing business because of it......so they FIRE the GAY person.

Current LAW says that is illegal.......but in this case the FIRED person was causing the business to lose money..............current law says it DOESN'T matter.........

THIS was in the news here locally a few years ago..........said company ended up GOING OUT OF BUSINESS due to this political correct ********.

Another Example............this happened at a place I worked at in Des Moines............A small consulting firm.......

Said Consulting firm was SUED and eventually went belly up due to an American with Disabilities Lawsuit. Basically the company interviewed a man in a wheel chair......He didn't get the job..........HE SUED because they did not have facilities for wheelchair bound employees.

AT the time, there WERE no wheelchair bound employees. He was NOT qualified, and would NEVER had been hired........I know, I interviewed him......

That didn't matter.......eventually the firm spent over 100k on legal expenses, and had to close the doors.......25 people, include me, lost their jobs.


Government has NO PLACE in this..............A privately held company should be able to hire and FIRE for any REASON.........PERIOD.

Thats the beauty of it....if the company supports things you don't agree with you can decide not to spend your money there.
ADA scares alot of business people and local Authorities. It's a buzz word like racism and once it's used people get scared.
Sounds like you needed an Attorney with a disability on your side. You gotta fight fire with fire.
