McDonalds allegedly fires man with autism for “Shaky Hands”
Quote:
Alex says that the fast food chain was aware of his condition before he was hired and that this was his first job.
“[The hiring manager] told me to come back Tuesday to start training,” Alex tells BuzzFeed News. “On the fourth day, they sent me home early and said, ‘Don’t worry you’re not fired.’ ”
But the day before he was supposed to return to work, Alex’s grandma told him that he was let go.
