That doesn't change the fact that there are hurdles that atleast factor in to how the human who was fired in that scenario may feel? And isn't that a major component to the human experience, how we feel, especially in the situation where your employeer fired you for a reason you learned was their mistake? That's full on feel mode for me, I don't know if you have an iron will or what, but you can't always assume that the person in this case would take a step back and accurately make the correct rational judgment you have outlined (see? more agreeing from me!). I would personally be afraid to be blacklisted from the law field, as reputation matters. Even being known as someone who is litigious against your employer whilst also garnering news coverage (great, your name is everywhere for future employers to see) seems to the very _least_ be a tradeoff of getting justice vs all that negative shazz I mentioned.
You only get 1/3rd of your annual income, and the lawyer gets 2/3rd of the income for legal fees.
Plus a good lawyer can delay the case and drive up fees and court time to the point that it is not worth it anymore.
Maybe I should have sued, but I was scared of a backlash.
I didn't ask to have IBS, I developed it from all of the work stress. Sometimes it feels like I am passing glass, and the pain makes it last longer in the bathroom.
Law firm has amazing lawyers and I was afraid of being blackballed.
