I always see these posts about text messages and/or emails from employers trying to enforce illegal rules, discriminating… then the person asks “what should I do?” And everyone chimes in with “oh boy…your lawyer will have a field day with this one” “Forward the email to the department of labor” “you just won the lottery with this one”
For real, does anything ever come out of any of this? Do people actually ever do anything with these emails and texts and take the company to court? Because I never come across any follow up posts about how the company got fucked. I have a feeling people simply move on, do nothing and keep getting screwed thus perpetuating this cycle of nothing being done and companies and bosses doing literally anything they want with us.
If I'm wrong and there are some success stories out there, please let me know I would absolutely love to read some.
