Author, radio host and prominent evangelical Christian Dave Ramsey told the employees at his financial advice company Ramsey Solutions they would not be permitted to work from home because it would show a "weakness of spirit," according to a lawsuit filed in federal court Monday.
The announcement came days after Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee declared a state of emergency in March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, the lawsuit says.
Brad Amos, a former senior video editor with Ramsey Solutions, filed suit in the US District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee Nashville Division, claiming he was fired in July of 2020 after requesting to work from home. According to the suit, Amos made the request to protect his family who he considered high-risk cases for Covid-19 exposure. The lawsuit demands backpay and monetary damages and claims that he was religiously discriminated against.
