Days after Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R) declared a state of emergency in March 2020 over the coronavirus pandemic, Christian financial guru Dave Ramsey allegedly called 900 people to an in-person meeting of his company, Ramsey Solutions. The evangelical radio host told the staff they would not be permitted to work from home, saying it showed a “weakness of spirit,” according to a new lawsuit.
Ramsey’s remarks were troubling to at least one employee, Brad Amos, who this week filed a lawsuit against Ramsey and his company claiming he was retaliated against and ultimately fired for wanting to take precautions during the pandemic. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Tennessee, where Ramsey Solutions is based, describes a “cult-like” workplace where employees were forced to share personal details about their lives and were told to “pray away” covid-19.
The lawsuit demands backpay and monetary damages for what Amos claims was religious discrimination. Amos, who was hired as a senior video editor in August 2019, in his lawsuit alleges he was fired in July 2020 after requesting permission to work from home to protect his family during the pandemic and trying to take additional precautions.
“Mr. Amos’ lawsuit is filled with false statements and has absolutely no merit,” the spokesperson wrote in an email to The Washington Post. “Ramsey Solutions’ stance has always been that we will comply with applicable laws and regulations related to COVID.”
