In one’s opinion, William was not discriminated against based on him being obese, but he is protected under the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA). It was explained how the position required him to use certain equipment and climb utility poles, in which he was unable to do so. There were also safety regulations that were required by the utility company as well as weight requirements that William did not meet. Additionally, William’s supervisor made accommodations by not giving him assignments that did not require him to climb or use the man lift equipment and gave him the opportunity to lose weight in order to continue to work for Power Inc.. He was only fired after he was given the opportunity to lose the weight but he did not succeed
