- Wal-Mart hires an employee with down syndrome who works at the company just fine for several years
- Wal-Mart starts using an algorithm to adjust employee working times. Her schedule is changed from 12-4 to 1-5:30.
- The new schedule conflicts with bus schedules, making it difficult for her to travel. Her family argues to Wal-Mart that this is causing her a bunch of stress. Walmart refuses to adjust the schedule.
- After a few months, she racks up several tardies and is terminated.
- She sues. Jury finds that Wal-Mart failed to make reasonable accommodations for her and awards her $125M.
