Man Sues Employer for Throwing Him a Birthday Party and Won $450K!
As someone who LOVES birthdays, this is something I had to learn as I got older. Just because I love my birthday, doesn’t mean other people feel the same, and it’s important to respect people’s wishes.
A Kentucky man took his employer to court after they threw him a birthday party he didn’t want, and the jurors sided with him, and his employer owes him $450,000.
The employee asked the office manager days before his birthday in August to not arrange a birthday celebration as they did for other employees.
Then on Aug. 7, the employee’s birthday, the office arranged for a lunchtime birthday party in the lunch room, according to the lawsuit. The employee said that he found out about the party as he was headed to his lunch break, which triggered a panic attack.
The incident caused the employee to “leave the office suddenly and spend his lunch break in his car.”
