MS Employee Suit Revisits Court

"OLYMPIA, Washington -- In 1997, Thomas Davis got a note from his doctor
worth $2.3 million. On Thursday, his lawyer told state Supreme Court
justices why Davis should be allowed to keep it.

Two years ago, a Seattle jury ordered Davis' former employer, Microsoft,
to pay him $2.3 million for violating the Washington Law Against
Discrimination, but an appeals court ordered a new trial. At issue was
whether a 60-plus-hour work week was necessary to do his job, and
whether Microsoft did all it should have to help Davis, who suffered
from hepatitis C, find another job in the company if it was. "
