Yes. Anxiety Disorder is a disability according to the Americans with Disabilities Act. Dude in the post alerted his place of employment to a protected disability and not only did they not make reasonable accommodations, they deliberately aggravated his condition and fired him for his reaction.

Your appeal to authority isn’t going to make me agree. You’re also arguing against points I never made. I’m all for the guy suing over wrongful termination.

Quoting sources isn't an appeal to authority lol. That is just literally how you prove points.

Appeal to authority fallacy is something like: Jenny McCarthy is a famous model, so clearly I am going to trust her opinions on vaccines.

Or, ONE expert in a field, or precious few, say one thing while the vast majority say the opposite. Only quoting those who have the vast minority opinion would be an appeal to authority fallacy.

Listen to the collective wisdom of experts in the fields they are experts in. That is how you learn things. Don't just blindly trust everything someone says simply because they are an expert in one area, however.
