Worker accuses T-Mobile of firing her over hurricane-delayed medical leave

By around December 2024, the worker was approved to work from home and take intermittent leave, the filing says. Those arrangements, the complaint alleges, would not have placed any undue burden on the company.

Then T-Mobile reversed course. In February 2025, according to the complaint, the company revoked the worker’s accommodations and revoked previously approved leave dating back to November 2024.

The worker alleges she pushed back, telling T-Mobile it was applying its leave policies inconsistently and discriminating against her because of her disability. The complaint says the company “failed to take prompt or appropriate remedial action.”

She was fired on or around February 5, 2025.

The complaint alleges T-Mobile terminated her because of her disability and in retaliation for speaking up. It calls the company’s stated reason for the firing “pretext” – meaning, in employment law terms, a cover story for the real motivation.
