Getting therapy for the emotional damage from being unlawfully fired from a job almost two years ago.
There’s 3 months left in the statute of limitations. My therapist really thinks I should go after my former employer for this shit.
Idk if I should. I am employed at an amazing place rn and can’t really afford time off, but I also want justice for myself and anyone else who got the same treatment I did.
What do y’all think?
A paid professional thinks you should. Why are you asking the Internet?
You need to provide about 95% more detail if you want anything resembling a useful answer.
Ask a lawyer.
Your therapist gave you their honest and sober view and that should be worth something.
If you consult a lawyer, they have to tell you the truth about what your chances are and shit and if they lie they can get into deep trouble. But they are the only ones to know your chances and the damages you’d get as a payout, and thus they are the exact ppl you need right now.
Also thank you for not dismissing what your therapist said. It is really hard to get some perspective on how fucked up stuff is if you go through it and trusting a therapist on it is very difficult as well, so you are doing great.
With that I wish you the best - the struggle is over, now either you’ll move on or you will make even.
but I also want justice
Can’t get that. All you can get is money.
If you don’t, they will continue with whatever actions they did and more former employees will end up in therapy.
Three months isn’t a lot of time, so I would talk to a lawyer sooner rather than later. Google employment lawyers in your area, or “attorney referral service [your state].” You should be able to get a free consultation.
Some lawyers may be able to tell you right away if they’ll take your case, but it may take a little time. And you may want to get more than one opinion. If you have any documents, round those up and hang onto them.
