None of the fines for these things are enough. It should be, like, the company is nationalized. The leadership is sentenced to years of community service and barred from working in the industry for life.
Fucking corporate America. I was fired for having a disability, specifically and intentionally by my boss and her manager. Neither has any direct accountability - both were terminated as a result of the findings of a federal and state investigation, but the company will pay for the damages. They both failed upward, getting higher positions at other companies, while I've struggled to find employment, something already difficult due to the stigma of my age, disability, and gender, but now with word of my termination having spread through the quite small pool of people who work in my field.
Uuugh, fuck that! I am so deeply sorry. I'm disabled and of an age and gender that get heavily discriminated against, too...so I feel you. I've been there. It's so awful and makes you feel like shit. I sincerely hope things get better for you ASAP! Here's some Internet hugs, if you want them: 🫂
