The company has a special education program for their workers? Huh

one of my clients is a company hq'd in an EurAsian company near Russia.

They rarely fire anyone, and instead just move people around. It's pretty common outside the US.

Yes? Is that weird? If you’re inclusive and providing representation to otherwise less abled and neurodivergent and hiring them as employees, seems like the right thing to do.

I think the weird part is finding a company that's actually inclusive and provides said representation.

Even if they did kind of wield it as a cudgel in an attempt to punish this employee.

I'm surprised a company would do this
