I’d win, easily.
political opinions aren't protected
james damore didn't win
Only if you have the data to back it up
except in DC and a couple states
You also have to last long enough, financially, to win.

lawyers ain't free
They can just keep pushing trial dates around while you keep having to pay for a lawyer
and move venues
force you to fly to some city
stay in hotels for court dates
bleed you
No way. I know I’d win. In fact, they’d settle out of court.
I’m not worried about that at all. I’m not some crazy person shouting hate and violence. I’m allowed to speak outside of work and hold an opinion.
They’d lose.
why do people always forget that the drain goes in both directions during a lawsuit
Because most large companies already have lawyers on retainer
that doesnt mean they want them wasting time on random claims
I don’t work for any large company
Especially if I’m ready to fight and go all in.
large companies often settle out of court to avoid disruptions or bad press
They don’t want to risk losing serious money.
Exactly
they also dont want the risk of setting a precedent in court
It’s better for them to just leave little old Drew alone and let him be a centrist in peace.
Lol
If you're talking about a relatively small company, then sure, but if you're talking about a large multinational company, they're more likely to try to stall and bleed you dry.
I get that for the super big ones, sure.
nah, theyll settle and move on because its not worth the cost
Depends on how much you're asking for, the situation you're in, if you're unionized, etc.
You're allowed to hold an opinion. Your employer is allowed to terminate their relationship with you for that same opinion.
There likely wouldn't be a lawsuit at all because no judge would hear the case.
I disagree
If the opinion was mainstream and not extreme, there’s no@logical or ethical reason to terminate them
For example damore is currently in arbitration with google
Haven't you heard enough cases of people getting shitcanned over old tweets?
Employer had a legit reason to fire him according to a judge, so why are they trying to settle out of court instead of bleeding him dry?
