Amazon Fires Studios Exec for Not Flying Coach

Law360: A former Amazon Studios executive has sued the tech behemoth in California state court, arguing it fired him in retaliation for upgrading his seat on the company’s dime due to a back disability that deters him from flying coach on longer flights. After he was hired as global head of visual effects for Amazon Studios in 2019, Marc Sadeghi learned that the company had a “coach only” travel policy, which he took issue with given his back condition.
