That may work for the media reporting on the lawsuit, but it won't wash in the real world.
As I previously stated, this woman's attorney will be buried in paper and motions for the next 5 years.
An "at will" employer retains absolute discretion as to whom they employ.
This is a fact that your side ignores.
Okay, in the real world. no one is going to pay for Lawyers at $400.00 an hour in billable hours for four years to fight a lawsuit from a woman who probably only wants a year or two in salary.
If this is"just about the money", that is.
I would. On principle. I would instruct my attorney to litigate this thing well into the next decade. If anything to send a message to the next greedy bastard that I am not living in fear of lawsuits.
I would imagine lots f businesses are taking the same path because they are sick of frivolous suits.
This one is crap..Goes nowhere.
BTW, many businesses have attorneys on staff or on retainer.
I'm sure there are..
This guy doesn't sound like one of them. If they had an attorney on staff, they'd have shut this idiot down when he said, "I'm gonna fire that bitch for voting for Obama!"
Of course, the best way to avoid lawsuits is to not do stupid shit. I suspect this guy is going to learn that lesson the hard way.
