    It was reading these parts that did it for me:

    “Stealing other co-workers’ joy” “Workplace violence” “As an employer who puts our employees first” “My employees were the victims”

    So you placed your other employees’ ego and “morale” over your employee with disabilities. Welp

      gonna go out on a limb and say it was less about employee morale, and more about a measly worker telling the boss what he should and should not do
