imgabe implied it's difficult for a company to fire someone. I'm responding that it's trivially easy for a company to make your life a living hell, and make you want to quit.
- imgabe 11y agoYes and constructive dismissal is a legal concept enabling an employee who experienced something like that to sue and receive compensation for unfair dismissal. Companies generally don't like to be sued and don't put themselves in positions where they could be sued.
- VikingCoder 11y agoAh, got it. I thought you were accusing me of dismissing imgabe's argument without giving it proper constructive attention. I don't really buy the argument that companies don't know how to get around this.
- hwstar 11y agoA lot of companies make you sign an agreement to arbitrate instead of going through the courts. That would mitigate the risk for them that they would get sued. Arbitrators don't use juries. Hopefully the California legislature passes AB 465 and bans pre-dispute arbitration clauses. Companies need to fear being sued in the courts if they misbehave, and should not be able to keep the disputes private and out of the court records.
