Also consider this: if you do sue, any future potential employer who googles your name will see the lawsuit. This will dramatically reduce your chances of getting future jobs.
- byoung2 7y agoAs a former hiring manager, I can say I have never taken the time to google a candidate for lawsuits. If you settle out of court before going to trial, there is usually a nondisclosure and no public record.
- jayess 7y agoIf you settle, the complaint and other docket records are public record. There are sites that now publish lots of court records, so just googling a name may bring up lawsuits filed by that person. You don’t need to google specifically for court records.
- byoung2 7y agoMy point was about settling before filing in court. The sequence is this: 1. Have your lawyer send a demand letter 2. Request a case management conference/arbitration 3. Reach settlement 4. File in court (filing now public) 5. Reach settlement (settlement private) 6. Court judgment (judgment public) The goal is to stop at step 3 where it is not yet public. The company will not want the filing public because of bad publicity. If it gets this far, they would rather stop at step 5 than 6.
