Lawsuit Alleges Reddit Fired Employee for Taking Medical Leave, ‘Toxic’ Culture
404media.co
A lawsuit was filed against Reddit alleging that the company fired an employee with anxiety for taking medical leave. The employee, Jamie Lee, had worked at Reddit as an accountant for over 4 years with positive reviews. In July 2022, Lee requested 3 days off for her health but was denied. She was later placed on medical leave after fainting, but was fired upon returning and accused of poor performance. However, the lawsuit claims others made similar mistakes. It also alleges Reddit's new leadership under the CFO has created a "toxic, political, and not inclusive" culture, which two other employees also left over. This highlights challenges employees faced with the changing culture at Reddit.

Question is, given the way spaz acts.. Is anyone legitimately surprised? I feel like Ellen Pao would have been good to work with though
u/spez... but your spellchecker isn't that far off.
And here I thought it was intentional
At the height of the protests, "spaz" was (still is?) actually the name used by AutoModerator in some forums in reply to posts referring to the CEO. It would surprise me if that were the only instance of that 'typo'.
Flesh based, silicon based... potahto, potahto? 😉
