Antiwork

left a bad review. Got a cease and desist letter from their lawyers.

I worked at a smilton for a year before they fired me for leaving early sick. They refused to pay my PTO unless I signed a letter agreement stating I would not slander the owner management group. Denied my unemployment till a ALJ determined it was a wrongful termination. So I left a review on Google about some of the business practices like refusing to move a guest when there was sewage backed up causing headaches. Altering time punches to not exceed 40 hours. Promoting a hostile environment. All things that are true, backed by emails, photos, audio and video recordings. Not slander. But the ownership group denies any of it and had their lawyers send me a cesse and desist letter threatening a lawsuit, demanding I delete the review. Im not deleting anything and doubled down by making some videos public on YouTube. I've contacted a couple lawyers myself…

I've contacted a couple lawyers myself but $400 consultation fee is much for me.
Not my intent to slander or “harm” their business, rather let people know what goes on there.
Wish me luck.
