Overregulation is the problem here.

There is no overregulation happening here, you retard. It’s more like HR and higher ups above him have way too much power to the point where they can bend the rules. If an Art Director is filing documented complaints and HR is just throwing them away, there is no regulation being had here. If there was any regulations, those complaints would’ve been properly handled because regulations would force someone to investigate

Yeah, and proving it is extremely difficult. You basically have to know you're getting sacked from this shit then somehow start exfiltrating your company emails to prove the behavior, because the moment you get fired, you lose all of your access to your corporate emails and accounts.

Not to mention legal costs and how MS can completely draw this shit out and bleed you dry if you try to take them to court.

no because you are basically advertising to your company to get ready for the sue. You are literally helping them cover it up. They can just claim they fired you for incompetence etc

heh
>>
>>736309095
The key word there is 'if.' Getting proof that can meet the legal rigor of being admissible as evidence isn't too easy. But you're right, if you're smart and keep a 'cover your ass' file that you can hand to a lawyer, most of the time the company will just settle out of court unless you're asking for a ridiculous amount.

A lot of it comes from middle managers wanting to sleaze their way up the ladder, and a good way to do that is to be able to say 'I saved the company millions!', and so what if the way you saved money is by firing your competent employees and hired jeets to replace them?

Unless you manage to get e-mails of them explicitly stating they're actively doing wrong doing when firing you, good fucking luck with that.
