There are a number of reasons to follow through with a suit, but there is one main thing I won't do, where others tend to buckle. They settle. If I do this, there will be no settlement. There will be a case, it will be closed, and it will go into the legal record as precedent. I'm not after money - I'm after justice; and I'd rather spread that around to my other affected brothers.
Just an update - the administration doubled down today, but my supervisor and several others in my position are at least making noise in response to the mandate. I'll find out Monday, I guess, what the outcome is. I went on an email saving spree with timestamps and all the goodies before I left today.
Smart move saving emails. The more evidence you have, the better.
And I definitely support the idea of not settling. Setting the precedent would be a huge win.
