Actually I lied Im a lawyer and have represented many class action lawsuits over my 50 years of experience and my assumption is that you are as well. Happy now?... Look, its very accessible to contact a lawyer and be professionally consulted about your legal options especially for someone who is compensated at the level of an engineer. Personally if I experienced the things exclaimed here Id be tossing in bed thinking about how to sue my employer. I agree that its personally challenging to pursue legal action... but I think supporting and encouraging people who may deserve legal retribution is responsible.
