Countersue for slander/libel/defamation/some other sort of "illegaly saying bad things", and use that as leverage.
- dan-robertson 4y agoI guess I can imagine legal threats but I assumed this poster came from the us where libel cases are not easy to win. And I also assume that if the poster and their wife are working in tech they can afford to pay a lawyer to tell them whether some legal threat has any merit or not (on the other hand, OP posted here, seemingly instead of contacting a lawyer so maybe I’m wrong). Other comments seem to suggest that OP revealing themselves to the company would be terrible for them but I don’t really understand the mechanism. Mostly I assume that if some competent company lawyer were to discover this, they wouldn’t go to the CEO saying ‘how do we best seek revenge’ but rather ‘what were you thinking? Here’s how we might avoid liability if it looks like they might fight this’. Maybe you think that’s putting too much faith into company lawyers?
