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.

sounds like something japan would do expecting you to quit out of shame

I haven't really heard of it. I'm from Finland myself.

Yes? Is that weird? If you’re inclusive and providing representation to otherwise less abled, and hire some neurodivergent 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
