I just told my boss who claimed I was not working “OK you can do it and I’ll go home”

I'll try to keep it short and simple here as I am sitting at a train station I walked to after saying that to Karen. (Yes that's her name and she OWNS it).

Need Mediation/Legal Advice

State of Wisconsin. I informally wrote a letter to the State department concerning wrongful payment of my accrued PTO. (Can provide more details if needed). The State department sent a letter to the company, which in turn asked to be sent to mediation. What should I expect at the mediation or go prepared with? I am hoping to NOT hire an attorney for the mediation. It appears I may need to have an offer? or counter offer ready?

Money is speach, or “Money is speach that gives value to the speaker”, or MONEY IS ATTENTION AND THE HAVE-NOTS ARE A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE

Anyone wanna riff or point towards similar/same ideas, this is you time. Get that money. Money is distribution of speach, print, radio, etc, as well as physical stability of images such as the burger joint billboard sign that I don't get to erase from my field of vision.
