Suing Employers

"You can try suing but then you get known as the entry level employee whose litigious against their employers"Any company worth their salt should not care about this. Any company that would be upset that someone sued because their employer was treating them poorly is by definition a shitty company.

Why wouldn't an HR person or hiring staffer immediately out the company or even sue them?

they can't avoid the hassle. if they terminate me they'll face a wrong termination lawsuit.

Doing that has a big chance of backfiring from a PR perspectives and I’d be surprised if a good lawyer couldn’t find an argument that the agreement did not extend to bad-faith claims or, depending on whether things like the WARN act apply, illegal acts. I would be surprised if they tried that because as soon as they sue, she’d be able to request a lot of information under discovery and the odds are pretty high that would reveal something which they’d like not to have public.

Hopefully you don't work for my employer, but even if you do, please sue them into the bottom of a very deep pit.

You are asking the companies to divulge that hiring you was a crass violation of labor laws?That doesn't seem a likely course of action.

Fun fact: bringing a lawsuit against your company is not good for feeling like you're going to be getting hired places later: especially since I believe (not completely sure) you can only sue for punitive damages.

There is a canyon of difference between what is "supposed to" happen, and what does. And before you bring up suing or reporting or anything like that, know that those activities usually require time and money that the employee probably does not have, and will likely cause them to not continue at their job, and through rumors spread through the industry, might cause them to not be able to find another one.

That's wild. How does that work out legally? A company can sue an employee for telling a damaging (but uncontested) truth?

I'm pretty sure suing a potential employer would be a career-damaging move in the eyes of other employers.
