A 22-year Wells Fargo employee alleges the bank fired him one day after he told HR his approved disability accommodations had never arrived.
The federal complaint, filed September 14, 2026, in the Western District of Texas, names Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as the defendant. The employee, who held the title of Senior Assistant Vice President, brings claims of disability discrimination, failure to accommodate, and retaliation under the ADA Amendments Act and the Texas Labor Code.
According to the filing, the employee joined Wells Fargo in February 2003 as an Internal SLS Help Desk Associate. Over more than two decades, he earned multiple promotions, attended underwriting school, passed his qualifying exam, and rose to senior underwriter - a role later retitled Senior Assistant Vice President. His most recent promotion came in 2024, the complaint states.
The filing alleges the employee has ADHD and a chronic hip condition diagnosed in 2016, both of which affect his ability to focus, his physical mobility, and his capacity to sit for long stretches. Before the pandemic, the complaint says, Wells Fargo provided accommodations including multiple computer screens, written standard operating procedures, and a large ergonomic chair.
When employees returned to the office in November 2024, the complaint alleges, the employee found all his previously approved accommodations had been removed. Delays and unclear communication around the accommodations process followed, the filing states.
