Butthole lawyer got me fired 😭
I made a post the other day about how I was stiffed on a $550 tab by a couple attorneys and followed the advice I received and reached out to the firm on the card to tell them about what happened. Well it completely backfired, the woman on the phone who I think was just a receptionist told me she would follow up with my concern. I made a post on their Facebook page too but somehow it got deleted? They ended up calling my restaurant on a Saturday and told them about it and that if I was not terminated they would be pursuing legal action against both myself and the restaurant.
My boss was very nice about it and said that he actually contacted his family attorney about what to do and unfortunately they had to let me go. I'm just devastated and have never felt more worthless it just sucks how we are so replaceable and people deemed “better than thou” can have our jobs taken from us just like that.

Lawyers are excellent professionals to extort money from. What are they gonna do, sue you? It's like taking candy from a police officer.

If a lawyer stiffs you on a tip, just wish them a happy Hanukkah and move on

It's doable but rare:
1. You need to have a valid legal claim (this is the hardest part) or at least something that sounds like one at its face
2. You need to make them aware of your intent to cause them a headache. This is easy if it's something like a general counsel, you might be under obligation to utilize arbitration if you're low enough on the totem pole and more than likely they'll be eating the costs.
3. What you ask for needs to be so little for them that they value skipping the headache more than the cash.
This can easily get you 5k to 10k payouts from larger companies.
