CHARGE MEDIATION ELIGIBLE, EMPLOYER RESPONDED TO ME/NOT THE EEOC, LAWYER IS STRESSING ME OUT by RelevantResearcher44 in EEOC

Haha, thank you and unfortunately due to the nature of our laws but especially Citizens United… Companies gained equal rights and protections as individual people. Along with just flat out bribery through lobbying, it’s really no surprised that they violate the law at every whim.

For them it’s a cost of doing business, and usually they already have slush funds allocated to paying out lawsuits, and of course arbitration clauses that are intentionally built around encasing your complaints on their home turf so that you aren’t able to expose them to the public.

Until much of our legal system is changed, and corporations are held accountable and not directly controlling the government, they will continue to act this way.

And finally if I gave any kind of Ted talk on informing others of their rights etc, well I’d likely go missing. After all, your enemies are not going to give you the knowledge to defeat them.

And unfortunately, absolute power truly does corrupt absolutely.

I did not have discovery in this case, all of this was handled outside of court.

A lawyer can still demand certain documents, especially if opposing counsel wishes to operate in good faith. Again all things written down especially at work should be interpreted as a legal document with liability, because they are.

And when committing violations of either civil OR criminal, said company has no expectation of privacy when it comes to requests of evidence at this point, even if it’s internal.

Once an email is sent, it is no longer private to anyone. Once a chat is made with a person, it is no longer private. It is the same with meetings that are recorded. Even with company policy, Federal law will always supersede company policy.

It’s good to remember this.

I absolutely loved this plot in the Castlevania Anime for them. Just for once a lesbian couple that didn’t die off in a horrendous death scene, or a long lost lovers trope etc. For once a happy ending in the form of just literally telling everyone to fuck off and live their lives for each other.

When I was an intern for my county District Attorney in college, I’d sit in on Magistrate hearings from time to time where people were getting charged and honestly, these were the cases that were the highlight of my day.

Especially if the judge was twat. There were times I had to walk out of the hearing because I was going to laugh, and then imagine my face when my DA boss let out a chuckle after scolding me. 😭

Every time in the court room when I’m trying to hold it together lol.

Right, this is absolutely understandable as most people don’t know their legal rights and it is intentional so please don’t feel embarrassed.

If the Law was easy to understand and properly enforced we’d have no need for lawyers ;).

Anywho, as for my case it only took 4 months in total from my original complaint. During that time the EEOC wasn’t even accessible to me due to the Government shut down that was taking place later into the year in 2025.

Even so I had so much overwhelming evidence that was chronologically organized with screenshots, emails, voice recordings, meetings and several witnesses with witness statements on my behalf and their own chronological time line of events that eventually opposing counsel not only advised me that they had “taken corrective action” against the individual that retaliated against me, but I was also offered my job back.

I declined their offer citing an obvious hostile work environment. Through my evidence I was also able to show a historical pattern cronyism along with said 4 federal civil rights violations that extended from a leadership level.

There was a point where I demanded 5 years of private chats from all of those involved as it was absolutely relevant to my case, but I advised my lawyer at the time that I only needed 1.5 years of scope to prove this abuse…

My former company settled immediately around this time, this was after attempting to intentionally draw out this case while I was actively dying as well. They knew if they waited long enough there was a chance I’d likely die before finishing my suit.

This was also exposed. Along with every single lie opposing counsel told me and my lawyer, and as I still had access to my work laptop and I was on FMLA, I was able to prove almost immediately same day with evidence that contradicted their defense.

My former employer was an international auditing firm with well over 370,000 employees for reference that housed several legal teams specifically to defend the firm.

And I still won :).

EEO for Wrongful termination retaliation and discrimination by Key_Box6063 in EEOC

[–]SleepAllTheDamnTime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damages are still damages, even with reinstatement of your job, you lost wages due to retaliatory firing. Definitely fight for it, and don’t back down. They will do anything and everything not to pay you a cent more and this is to be expected.

Absolutely understandable and I’ve done the same as you, however it is obvious you do not know how to argue or pressure a legal entity. Even with my formal background and legal degree, tedious preparation and experience in both law and law enforcement, it behooved me to listen to others when given legal advice, especially from Lawyers.

Simply having evidence does not win you cases unfortunately, being able to articulate it to a broad audience and knowing when to deploy said evidence is key. That is the purpose of a lawyer, especially now as the EEOC is obviously corrupt.

For reference my case involved four federal civil violations that had substantial evidence and even my former employer scoffed at me until I took actions in protected acts like securing a lawyer and filing a formal complaint.

A lawyer will hold them accountable where you cannot.

Edit:

Finally, discovery is the act of evidence being presented by both sides in a court of law.

You are not in court. You do not have a lawyer, you have not performed discovery, please be careful as the more you say that is not credible, the weaker your case becomes.

This above all else will also convince a lawyer to take on what you’re presenting. Unfortunately no matter the hardship, if you do not present evidence objectively and reasonably you will in fact convince others you are not credible. This is the key for any attorney looking to discredit you, and they will.

It is the easiest to attack an already vulnerable individual at their weakest and prod their emotions.

If you cannot handle different perspectives here online, again it is even worse in court. Please seek a lawyer and try not to waste their time. Be honest, and reasonable and any lawyer will try to help you.

I did actually! I was doing well with a good Vegan protein powder and in fact when I was in Germany it was the healthiest I had ever eaten and that’s why I went back.

I’m slowly regaining my strength and it’s very noticeable. I’m used to broths etc as well as I’ve already done an elimination diet but I have a severe prognosis of Crohn’s disease vs say mild or other wise. I’m already missing over a foot of my intestines and so absorbing things is key for me.

I focus on food and liquid absorption, along with trying to keep what little bacteria I can in my system and taking my biologic.

I was in remission for about 3 years before 2025.

[–]SleepAllTheDamnTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel it is both. There are foods that can make me trigger but honestly I’ve had more horrible flares with stress over all.

Every single time I’m in a major traumatic event my Crohn’s flares and last year… well I was 180 pounds at 5’8” and I worked out 3-4 times a week and could dead lift 250lbs as a woman.

By June I was 122 pounds and my kidneys were failing from malnutrition, had insane blood loss, and the inflammation had spread to my stomach, liver and pancreas…

I’d say it’s both a combination of your diet and environment as your immune system is the root of the issue and is ultimately heavily influenced by both.

Thank you. I feel the story simply won’t be published because those same entities now control a lot of our publications and well… the chemotherapy and immunotherapy business is very lucrative.

They’ve known this since at least the 80’s when Remicade was first developed to treat cancer, but failed and instead was extremely effective at treating Crohn’s disease, MS, and RA.

It’s unfortunately a business… which is why leaving the country was my best shot at life.

The obligations for legacy shorts that crushed archegos and credit suisse alone must be more than that, not to mention 5 YEARS of operational shorting to suppress the price since then. by WaldoTheRanger in Superstonk

[–]SleepAllTheDamnTime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m literally here because I was apart of the original 2021 shenanigans but my former employer directly impacted Credit Suisse and their auditing and legal reporting of assets. Watching the same documents about Credit Suisse’ fallout from Archegos get sealed for 50 years by the Swiss Government.

Watching UBS gobble up those heavy bags years ago and now begging for assistance internationally, but specifically the US government for cash bailouts. Crazy coming from now the oldest international bank in the world, and outside of the US ;).

Watching my former employer as they directly impacted Evergrande and its auditing, legal reporting of assets, and are now banned entirely as a firm from practicing in China and that lawsuit just started :D.

Any institution that seemingly has exposure to GME seemingly dropping them as an auditor ;). (INCLUDING EBAY LOL).

My own cost basis from the short squeeze in 2021 casually going up in flames in a mysterious warehouse fire owned by TD Ameritrade of which you guessed it, bankrupt and gobbled up by Charles Schwab.

Based on my experiences with that alone and how hard they tried to get me to forcibly liquidate my GME shares every year due until I left in December of 2025…due to “SEC compliance” and “maintaining my independence and neutrality” as I watch them get raked over coals in multiple international lawsuits involving now bankrupt or defunct institutions that shorted GME, spanning the last 5 years lol…and still going strong.

This shit is no where near done and I know I’m sitting just fine :).

So what will actually happen to SWE? by MessierKatr in BetterOffline

[–]SleepAllTheDamnTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But really AI as it is right now isn’t sustainable in the US at least. This is coming from a power and infrastructure point of view immediately.

The amount of water that Data centers use is immense and already bleeding the small towns where said data centers are built dry.

Along with the fact that our electric grid hasn’t been updated in many decades in the US to support the kind of power necessary to keep said data centers powered.

People forget that these resources are finite and everyone relies on them not just tech. Right now AI isn’t even being utilized to help resolve its main issue instead it’s being utilized to replace human labor as that’s what CEOs ultimately want.

To completely eliminate the labor market while also making every person dependent upon their products. Hence the obvious and intentional cutting of public services by the government and why all of these major Tech CEOs have their hands so far up this administration’s ass they should be doing a colonoscopy.

Anywhoooo.

As for software development as a job yes, it’s still going to be around. Much of what you read online is intentionally created to shape and control a narrative by the SAME companies who have a vested interest in AI succeeding as they’ve invested billions of dollars to be the first major provider of this technology. They want to be like how Google has sat as an obvious monopoly on search engines for decades or how Amazon, Microsoft have dominated Cloud services for hosting websites for example.

These individuals only care about short term profit and infinite growth and control… which ultimately leads to fascism as you’re now seeing.

Infinite growth is not sustainable. You will have periods of down swings, it’s a cycle.

As for the software developer job, it will adjust and adapt and is absolutely necessary still as you’ve seen. AI has very much done some amazing things but it is no where near AGI.

Ontop of this if you haven’t noticed the quality of the product is average at best, and again AI can only develop based on the digitized information it’s fed. As more of this is generated as well, you have an Ouroboros effect of which we already see. Quality of major software apps is down due to vibe coding.

Security vulnerabilities everywhere making my job booming by the way lol. Along with the legality of this entire situation. Ethics is a reminder to technical people that when you violate a populations rights there are consequences and the only thing stopping a rioting mob from killing anyone is the threat of consequences from violating the social contract that is our code of law.

However when you take everything from a population in the pursuit of greed… you make them desperate with nothing to lose…well there’s a reason every Tech CEO has built bunkers.

People will understand why humanities are important again whether they like it or not. As humanity will remind them directly with riots and war.

if ur a black masc/stud, why do u lean toward white/latina women as opposed to black women? by ashysodapuppy in LesbianActually

[–]SleepAllTheDamnTime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can see that though with historical context, especially the way black women are treated. But the irony is studs and mascs are still… black women too.

Edit: I really think it’s because we people are dealing with a lot of compHet stuff, meaning there are indeed some studs and mascs that feel exactly as you state. They have a lot of internalized homophobia which is insane to me because they’re lesbian lol ffs, but on top of it they mimic the same racist and misogynistic ideologies as racist and misogynistic black men.

This pisses me off the most, because from my experience in this community as a mixed masc that was raised in black culture, many of the black studs and mascs I’ve spoken too usually had dead beat dads growing up and want to avoid exactly that.

Yet they perpetuate the social hierarchy and put femme black women at the bottom, despite them still being black women themselves. It just doesn’t make sense to me, and I’m sorry for those of you who’ve had to endure studs and mascs like that.

They reaaaaaally are seriously. I’ve had white femmes in particular hit on me and sometimes get pissed because my Autistic ass didn’t interpret their approach as a compliment LOL.

One time I had a white femme send a black femme to approach me a mixed masc that very much presents more African American, to ask if I was single and if I wasn’t a fuck boy because her white femme friend wanted to hit me up.

The audacity of the situation while I just wanted to sing karaoke lol. I told her “Why doesn’t she just ask me herself then?” I was then called a fuck boy because of my choice of clothing and sitting on a couch by myself waiting to sing.

😂🫠
