I've met a few people over the years that had severe anxiety with that kind of situation. Some people are wired wrong.
The guy did ask that it not happen, but the company did it anyway. Everyone here overreacted, the worst that should have happened was the idiot manager that went ahead and did it should get a reprimand, but not paying attention to the situation is what most managers seem to be good at.
Everyone has snowflake fatigue at this point.
