And Justice For All

My client is very successful, and employs most of his family. He has a first cousin who is a married gay woman who is suing him for discrimination, largely because he is Catholic.

This woman has been through a lot; I have seen her medical records. She was hospitalized with a mental breakdown at 14, and attempted suicide at 15 by washing down a handful of pills with a bottle of peroxide. She claimed this resulted from abuse at the hands of her family. She admitted to struggles with alcohol and cocaine as recently as 2016.

My client hired her as a 20 year old high school dropout. She worked in the field first, and then he brought her in to the office, and consistently promoted her until she was making almost $50k per year with a company car. She even got her GED.

She started to top out on her skill set, and got frustrated when she hit a ceiling. She complained to my client that she was stressed, so he gave her two weeks paid time off, and he paid for her to take her fiance on a two week hiking trip. When she returned, she said the office was too stressful, so he let her work from home.

Eventually, they told her it could not continue, and she could either come to the office to work or take FMLA leave. She refused, and filed a work comp claim for PTSD. The claim was denied. The Qualfied Medical Examiner filed a 75 page report claiming that she had serious issues that predated her employment with my client, and that testing suggested deception and exagerration of issues. Her work comp claim was denied.

She hired a lawyer, and is suing my client for discrimination, harassment, and a host of other similar claims. Her case is bullshit. But my client has insurance, and they want me to settle. It is going to settle for around $200,000. God bless America.

Can I have her former job? Sounds like a decent gig, working for decent people.

But a family member of mine can lose the use of their hands from a work related injury but they don’t even get half of that in a settlement.

Fuck that!

And this is why suing is always worth a try. You can usually get something from a settlement.

Except for when you have a legitimate problem, but can’t afford a lawyer, so you are just screwed. Fuck America.

We have an unofficial corporate policy to not hire people in CA ( we hire remote workers regularly) because of the bonkers laws.

that sucks.

my company has a client that always wants to to go back to the first thing we show him. It makes him a very good customer, but frustrating knowing at least half my work is going to the shredder.

I forgot to tell you. Things escalated, sole enteprenuer behind my parent company is having the company and all revenues sold or split up from under him due to ongoing case with DoJ. I acquired private equity from friendly shores and am moving forward with rebranding my company with no ties to the former.

That is really sad. Sounds like your client helped her a lot even when she was struggling. Sad to see money get between family.

I know you didn’t include her name or anything, but doesn’t the second paragraph here come dangerously close to violating HIPAA?
