Do you think the amount is excessive?


A Former longtime Walmart Employee with Down Syndrome won a whopper 125 MILLION in a discrimination lawsuit against the retail giant who changed her work schedule and then FIRED her for chronic absenteeism!!..

Marlo Spaeth was an employee at a Wisconsin Walmart for 16 years before she was fired in 2015 and in a lawsuit said she needed to maintain a rigid daily schedule as part of her condition that includes eating dinner at the same time every night

But they changed her hours in 2014 and made her work longer days that caused health issues of which she then filed a lawsuit by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2017 on her behalf

When she asked to adjust her schedule by 60 to 90 minutes to get back to her noon to 4pm shift, they fired her and then refused to rehire her

An 8 member jury in Green Bay sided with her and awarded a massive 125 million in punitive damages and an additional 150K in compensatory damages

Although that number will likely be reduced to 300,000 which is the maximum cap on damages in ADA cases as a Walmart Spokesperson said it doesn't apply to back pay, front pay, litigation costs or interests

Randy Hargrove, a Walmart spokesman said the company doesn't tolerate discrimination and routinely accomodates thousands of employees each year

if an aggressive human worked as hard and strategically as possible for 100 years, starting from nothing, with average luck, they'd earn 50 million dollars over the course of their life

this number is clearly designed for punishment rather than restitution

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
