How do you explain to HRBP that you will be suing the company without outright saying it?
In contentious issues of harassment/retaliation/scapegoat PIP/URA by incompetent management, it should be trivial to see if someone has an issue that could end up in litigation, and has a reasonable chance of being decided into employee's favor, or, at least, be plausible enough that a lawyer may be interested in the case on a contingency.
Very often HRBP will try to downplay everything, under the hope that the employee doesn't have the time, evidence or determination for a lawsuit. Brushing under the rug always works.™ Until it doesn't.
I know that if you outright say you'll be suing, it may start a protocol not in your favor. (What exactly happens?) Is there any good way to say it without saying it?
Also, is it recommend to find employment lawyers during PIP itself, or only after you're terminated, given that the likelihood of termination is far from certain given the strong case? Any good way to preserve evidence in case you are terminated? #hrissues #legal #amazonpip #ura #pivot #focus #lawyer #lawyerup

There's a dilemma that if the case is really strong, you're never terminated, so they never have the chance to get a pie on a contingency.
Else, if the case is deemed weak, then what's the point?
Any good lawyers?
You're aware that most lawyers on all sides work to prevent any actual lawsuits and trials from actually happening, right?
A letter of intent to sue, or demand letter, is sometimes even a legal requirement before proceedings are initiated. Many settlements are reached without ever reaching the courtroom.
An even better strategy to make the other party aware you're not leaving any stone unturned is to... wait foooor it... hire a lawyer.
As for intent to sue and demand letters, unless they come from lawyers the likely response will be silence or maybe an intent to ngaf letter or maybe a demand that you you gfy letter.
Leave lawyering to lawyers.

😂😂😂
Any good words to sprinkle around?
