They say they need money. This advice means they A. Won't work for another average company ever again B. Need money for a lawyer.
- neilv 7y agoA lawyer might offer a free initial consultation, or there are free legal clinics, such as around law schools. From there, if it turns out that a person needs representation, the lawyer should point the person to options. Can also call the local Bar Association. Also, needing the money can mean many things. You might need a well-paying job, but if your child is sick, you will find a way to get them to a doctor, not decide that a doctor isn't in your budget. There are credit cards, payment plans, budget/lifestyle changes, things that can be sold, various social safety nets. I suspect the original commenter will be fine, if they get the right advice from a lawyer, immediately. I can think of a bunch of plausible scenarios of this (including that there's nothing illegal, or that the commenter is purely a whistleblower), but the only scenario that matters is the actual one, which will be guided by the lawyer's advice, which will be based on the lawyer's much better understanding of the situation.
