You got promoted + raise that you worried you wouldn't get.

I understand a lot of the legal issues surrounding this case and have spent a lot of time reviewing case law on this subject. Hopefully this thread can become a forum in which I can bounce my legal questions off of. It's the holidays and everything but I plan on taking action after the new year. Wish me luck!

and then you go light up some crystal looking drug and think your superman?

No doubt about it, imo.

Really my only question is how he could possibly overplay it that far. I think he must've been serious up until that post and then become embarrassed when everyone started criticizing him, so he made the last post so obvious that he'd definitely get called out for leveling and can pretend all the earlier stuff was a level too.
I know nothing about this guy or what he's like, but that's the only way I can rationalize that post.

PF,

Regarding the real initial issue, had he not gotten the promotion he could have filed a complaint about not being treated fairly as a gay and how the workplace was uncomfortable for him due to the boss banging and showing favoritism towards straight dudes. Then there's a big chance the insurance company would have just offered to settle for 25-50k or more with even the tiniest bit of initial evidence.

I guess I don't know why you all think I'm crazy or "leveling". Is it not common sense to save thousands of dollars on a lawyer and just google legal information for free?

Ok. That was quite a payoff of a thread read. Goes from blackmail to success to theft within no time.

This.

The fact that he replied and put leveling in quote marks confirms this.

There is about an 8-10% chance max of that happening.

Far more likely is a 10-12k settlement, or 2-3 months of his salary.

Nice bitch move. Your management career at this location, if not company, is DOA.

When I first read this I assumed the guy having the affair would be promoted to your original job. If you get a promotion someone has to take over your old job right?

Are all gays as paranoid as you?

They finally figured out that everyone knows and its either gotten really discreet or they've stopped all together. I don't really care anymore.
