  I disagree, I think this kind of firing is very common and most workers don’t have enough power to fight back, unlike tech workers. Can you imagine how much this court case is going to cost them if they don’t win?

    True, but I thought most employment lawyers worked on contingency when it comes to employees.

      That’s generally the case.

      They do, and the government has lawyers that review your case for free as well. The very first step in the complaint process is to file with the EEOC or a state agency. If they decide not to sue, you hire a lawyer on contingency and go to court.
