You know, I was feeling like the whole thing had just snowballed out of control, until I got to the part where the guy apologized for having a panic attack. He felt like he had to apologize FOR SOMETHING THEY DID TO HIM. APOLOGIZE! What kind of company did this guy work for, anyway? Apparently they still think it’s the 1950’s when anxious women got put into sanitariums and over active children got a lobotomy. Panic attacks are real, they’re debilitating, and they’re terrifying - there’s a reason they’re called panic attacks, and it’s not because they’re fun to have. Personally, I think it all could have been handled differently - “don’t be a dick” as another commenter said - but the company chose to escalate things and in that case, $450,000 isn’t enough.
