Saying that the accommodation is unreasonable doesn't mean he is a bad person. Apple has one view and he has another, one can be wrong without being bad

It’s not unreasonable at all. The person is deaf, Apple should provide any resources the employee needs to do their job.

1. It’s the right thing to do.

2. If Apple can afford multi-billion dollar toilet shaped offices, they can hire interpreters.

In this case Apple has all of the power and none of the moral character.
