I can see that you’re just trying to play devil’s advocate here, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Jumping to conclusions is the hallmark of an inferior mind. Intelligent people consider all possible explanations for an occurrence before deciding how to respond. But there is overwhelming evidence to at least support the conclusion that sethmantooth was fired because he is deaf. Assuming that everything that sethmantooth said in his first post is true, I can see no outstanding reason why he should have been fired. He claims that he worked aggressively, was well liked by his coworkers, and that it was the middle of the Christmas rush.
Not once did management investigate Sethmantooth’s claims of harassment, despite his repeated complaints. But as soon as that bitch went crying to management that he flipped her off, he was fired in a flash. Intuitively, it just seems fishy to me. But I’ll wait until sethmantooth consults with legal counsel and reports back here before I draw any firm conclusions. Bear in mind though, that Target has a demonstrated history of workplace ADA violations. If I had to bet money on it, I would wager that his deafness was the sole reason that he was fired. Or, more exactly, he was fired because he made an issue out of being harassed about his deafness. I still think that sethmantooth has a good case, and I’m interested in finding out what happens in court.
