You’ve been discriminated against. And you lost your job. You’ve brought a lawsuit. You’ve likely been at this for years. You’re angry. Perhaps you had to check a box when asked whether you’ve been fired. And now, you’re on the verge of actually winning. Whether it’s a settlement agreement or at trial.
