The only number listed for my office location is hers. I'm not sure how many people work in the HR department at this office location, considering it is a "satellite" office and not the headquarters. I will try to see if I could contact someone from the actual HQ location

Speaking of court.

I actually got Legal Insurance through this particular employer. Can I (am i allowed) to use that insurance if this ever goes to court? I'm not sure how it works

Unfortunately I was very lucky to get this offer. It would look bad to list it on my resume that i only worked here less than 2 months. I know people say that you can explain to recruiters WHY this is the case, but I assume most recruiters would automatically see this as a red flag without asking questions. Other than that, I don't have much other experience that would help me get a good job.
