    COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) – A Kentucky man is in line to get $450,000... all because of a birthday party he didn't want.

    Kevin Berling worked at Gravity Diagnostics in Covington for about 10 months in 2019, and because he suffers from anxiety disorders and panic attacks, he asked the company not to celebrate his birthday as it normally does for its workers. That's when things started to go south.

    According to the lawsuit filed in Kenton County, the office manager forgot his request and still held a birthday party for Berling. That triggered a panic attack and he left and spent his lunch hour in his car. His bosses held a meeting with Berling the next day about the incident, triggering another attack.

    At that point, company managers told him to leave for the weekend and then subsequently fired him, telling him they were worried about him being angry and possibly becoming violent.

    Berling declined interview requests. His lawyer, Tony Bucher, says Berling wasn’t being violent but was using coping techniques to calm himself down. He adds the company apparently was more concerned about others than his client's well-being.

    That guy is being super selfish, no body cares about him, they just want the office party.

    I’m the grill/toast master at work, so when someone is retiring I get all juiced up for the party. I’ve been let down multiple times though.

    In all seriousness - I don’t know the facts of the case but I know someone who suffers from panic attacks ans it’s completely debilitating. Certain situations can cause them and to the person suffering it’s like hell on earth. Hell, Tony Soprano used to pass out from them and he was the Boss!

    My wife had a person in her last position that wouldn’t join parties due to personal/religious beliefs. That had to be very careful with this.

    At my work, we do pot lucks. You wanna come, better bring something and it’s by choice.

    There's a lot that was done wrong, just not respectful of others. The guy needs serious help, but the company's leaders really need some education on modern Human Resources best practices.
