that doesnt mean they want them wasting time on random claims
I don’t work for any large company
They’ll just settle and move on
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?
And how many tried to sue?
And how many of those tweets were REALLY offensive?
You have freedom of speech. And the company has freedom of association.
Oh man, I really like this conversation. Unfortunately I got to go! Tons of work to do, tons of stories to cover today.
I believe in the state of Virginia companies are allowed to terminate your employment for whatever reason they see fit, but I'm not 100% sure on that
That's the case in every state except one
I think Minnesota is the exception
might be Montana
“ right to work” states. Meaning the opposite actually. It’s double speak.
I worked at a place one time where a guy got let go because he smelled bad. Dead serious.
at-will, not right-to-work
That’s legit though
Smelling bad is a legit reason to terminate someone
right to work is being allowed to work at a union job without paying dues
They lack hygiene.
or something to that effect
Yeah, especially since it was a customer facing role, but I had never heard of someone getting let go because of body odor
and yes I was right, it's Montana
