Since when does someone deserve that much money for being fired, if he is in the right give him a years salary at most….2 million. Thats the kind of thing that puts a company in jeopardy and costs good, non-greedy employees their jobs.
The ex-employee was right. This company should have paid more. The company probably tried to out spend him. It is a sad day when that is the way companies do business.
Protect Honest Employees is exactly correct. The former employee was right. They tried to crush him financially through this lawsuit after firing him for no reason when he had a contract. He should’ve been awarded a lot more.
