According to other articles the guy was always in the bathroom.
If he wasn’t at his assigned place doing his assigned tasks he needed firing.
This was firing for cause, and I wouldn’t have wanted to be one of his coworkers trying to pick up the guy’s slack.
There was some story awhile back about a cellist (I think) who had the same problem. I think there exists a pretty hilarious youtube video.
As I read it, he didn’t even work there.
It was the wife who was fired from her job because her husband stopped in and farted.
This is a disability and needs accommodating.
I wouldn’t want to be a co-worker anywhere near him.
