His former employer fired him. His fault? Peeing in a hotel lobby after a work dinner in New York. Richard Becker disagrees. The 66-year-old IT salesman once worked for Lenovo Brands, one of the giants in the industry. In February, he was returning from a work dinner with a sudden craving for something to eat. There is real urgency. Because Richard Becker suffered from bladder problems. He intends to admit the defect, demand a “jury trial,” but most importantly, the Chinese computer equipment manufacturer must pay a huge sum of $1.5 million.
Richard Becker once urinated on the floor of the lobby of his hotel, located near Manhattan’s famed Times Square intersection, according to a complaint filed by his attorney, Alexander Sarkin. The man was then “overwhelmed” by the desire and had no choice but to relieve himself as best he could. Question: The sixty-year-old man was seen by a co-worker who reported him to human resources “out of pure malice,” the plaintiff’s attorney explained. Days later, “HR conducted a sham investigation without even questioning him,” and he was fired.
The IT salesman, who has been unemployed since February, claimed to have suffered from severe bladder problems since 2016. I knew about his disability at that time.
