Disabled employee sues Twitter over Musk's ban on remote work
Twitter Inc owner Elon Musk's mandate that employees stop working remotely and put in "long hours at high intensity" discriminates against workers with disabilities, a new lawsuit claims. Dmitry Borodaenko, a California-based engineering manager who said Twitter fired him this week when he refused to report to the office, filed a proposed class action against the company in San Francisco federal court on Wednesday. Borodaenko has a disability that makes him vulnerable to COVID-19, according to the complaint. Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday. Musk has said laid-off workers were offered three months of severance pay. The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which enforces the ADA, said in guidance released in 2020 that remote work can be a reasonable accommodation when it would not create an undue burden on an employer.
