HR pro's request for new supervisor wasn't a reasonable accommodation

HR pro's request for new supervisor wasn't a reasonable accommodation | HR - Tracks | Scoop.it
In a suit involving the University of Pennsylvania Health System, the 3rd Circuit made clear that the ADA does not entitle employees to their preferred accommodations.
James Schreier's insight:

Fascinating problems to solve!
