The employee/employer relationship for most people is the second most important relationship in their lives, next to their significant other. This relationship provides their financial lifeblood, as well as professional self actualization. Most people expect their employer to be fair. Most people want to be loyal to their employer. When unfairness, discrimination, or arbitrary decisions threaten that relationship, most people react. Sometimes they do not react wisely.

Attorneys can help, but they are not the solution. Life is not about lawsuits. Even though, as the process unfolds, you can feel demoralized, you should let your attorney guide you out of the maze, making the best of your legal options as quickly as possible. You cannot come to peace with this situation through the courts. Your goal must be to resolve this situation as quickly as possible with as much of your rights satisfied as is justified. Then you move on to another opportunity.
