Well, the only thing that is going to get you is access to unemployment, which isn't life changing.

  They received a substantial settlement under threat of litigation. Unemployment would’ve been received regardless. Never trust HN for legal advice. Not an attorney, not your attorney. I highly recommend engaging an attorney, both prior to and during acceptance of an offer, and when separated from an org. If you don’t, you’ve already lost, and I write these comments so others don’t lose.

    Were they part of a protected class? Otherwise, what protection did they have that would get them a settlement for being fired?
    • toomuchtodo 2y ago
      Constructive dismissal. Not a protected class. Caucasian, male, under 40. The job was offered, in writing, remote; rto was a material change to the agreed upon working arrangement. While labor rights and protections in the US are flimsy, they do exist.

  > which isn't life changing. Speaking from personal experience, not having access to unemployment can definitely be life changing.
