What sucks is they pretty much want you to do all the work and everything for them and then they use fancy terminology and get paid just for that..

I've just asked an employee law firm to take my cases of sexual harassment, workplace violence, bullying, threats, and retaliation here in Florida. I have emails, text messages , and camera footage ( employer's cameras) of each case happening to me. I've filed complaints with HR through the Ethics hotline established by my employer and to no satisfaction for me because I am still experiencing retaliation from the management over me wnd from coworkers who expressed their opinions about what happened to me. I have asked the law firm I'm talking with to accept my case on a contingency basis because I don't have the $750 retainer fee that they are requiring first. I feel, that if they believe they have a case, as they said to me by email, why do they want money from me up front? The company we are sueing will eventually pay the lawyers fees and me too.

@@edhones I'm from Canada. What is your advice? Same here being bullied, mobbed, gaslighting, harassed at the hospital for over 12 years. I've happened to be the top worker for 38 years and have never been suspended. These bullies are jealous and miserable people. Union, manager, HR and the police are all totally useless. Bullies are lazy bums and stupid managers are scared of the bullies. They say about me I'm crazy, I drink, I'm a stalker all bs defamation of character. The biggest mistake since they removed disciplinary measures. They should arrest the bullies and fire the manager. Action speaks louder than nasty words. It destroyed my reputation. I will never quit to make these lazy bums ever win. If I decide to transfer to another hospital and may start mobbing me once again, I don't know all the new managers etc. like in every department like now. So best to not change hospitals. I will never let bullies try to control me from quitting. Never let these low life lazy bums ever win.[

Great video, again, A*, thanks ! What about burden of proof, does the employee have to prove wrongful termination ? And the level is preponderance of evidence ? Or does the employer need to prove they had a right to fire, and have preponderous of evidence for that, or maybe even a higher level of evidence is needed for termination ? Or something in-between, like prima facie evidence, and then the other side needs to disprove matters.

If you are in Pennsylvania and filing with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission and/or EEOC try mediation. It is free and you have a chance to settle before spending too much time waiting. The other side has an interest in settling before paying their attorney to respond to motions, depose witnesses, etc. As always, talk to your attorney, I'm not one.

I work for an optometry office that is corporate owned. Corporate has given us clear instructions on over charging patients for lenses and features that are covered/or at a much lower cost on their insurance. I am wondering if this is considered theft by deception or fraud? Example: patient pays for a premium product- but in reality we produce a standard product- then give it to the patient. I have brought it up many times to my boss but it is always brushed aside.

When your ex-employer does not conduct a proper investigation prior to making false accusations then they risk a chance of that happening. Put people who are deserving and worthy in leadership position who can lead and manage people not there to show who's boss.

How about an injury from the jab. The corporate office approved my religious exemption and I could work remotely (I did during the pandemic). But local HR refused to accommodate me and sent me home for 2 months. They ignored all my email inquiries as to why until I contacted the ethics office and then I just got a phone call saying they were not going to accommodate me even though my manager and senior management 3 times sent a request up the chain saying that they wanted me working remotely and it would not impact operations. Finally I complied and was injured quite badly. The CDC VAERS system has acknowledged my injury but the employer refuses to to acknowledge or provide assistance with my medical bills and treatment. Do I have a case? EDIT: all this after mandates were ruled unconstitutional by the way EDIT 2: I live in WA state in Kitsap county

In laymen terms if you try to sue your employer for say... any type of discrimination, your work record better be absolutely spottles, never late, rarely call in sick, never go over on your breaks or lunches, be a good producer. In other words not have any excuse past or present for termination.

Suppose the defendant is silent and gives no response to the demand letter. It recently happened last week with a very large company. Why would they not respond or remain silent??

So why are they silent and didn't respond to the demand letter??!

Good luck even finding an attorney to represent you. Even if you have a legal claim if they can't make a boat load of money easy you are SOL. Most will refuse you. Grifters and Greedy. They won't make enough money your case is irrelevant and too much work. Call the bar and they will not recommend any attorney unless you have $250 or more an hour to pay. You will get 211 number. Good luck.
