Yeah, he should have pursued a Civil suit against the company for wrongful termination and possible discrimination.

Honestly if a family member ever did that to me because I didn't want to throw away my money to my step-bros pyramid scheme I would sue them to the bone.

Narcissism is a product of childhood. Parents calling it out are confessing their failure

"Wah you'll ruin us!"
"Better you than me!"
But he should have sued his former employer too.

If my job did that tô me I would sue then só hard the company would implode

You know what really doesn’t look good for a company’s reputation? Dismissing or threatening to dismiss an employee without evidence of familial or private accusations.

Ohhh i would sue the hell out of the company that forced me out

Someone who’s serious about starting a business gets a job & saves money. They have skin in the game.

I would've sued the company too

When you're told to consider the potential, demand they acknowledge the risk. Potential does not equal sure thing.

when every No with dot on the end becomes Number...

Again, its always totally fine to go and stay zero contact with bad family, why you shouldn't have a "golden" child and why you never let someone "control the narrative".  Thank god the OP sued his mom here, that was total BS.

Good story

Should have went after the company too. Weak

Umm, I’m pretty sure you have strong wrongful termination suit. Companies can’t just force you to resign or fire you based on a random person on the internet without any proof. Every employment lawyer would be salivating at this case.

Nah. Go to trial. Bankrupt them. Get the judgment for future employers.

No way I would resign.

They would have to fire me and then explain how having a crazy mother is "conduct unbecoming of an employee."

Or if it's appropriate to threaten an employee with blacklisting a model employee for unfounded libel.

18:00 Family also doesn't post obvious nonsense about family just cause they didn't get their way

19:51, "Maybe if you had been more flexible to your brothers business idea this wouldn't have happened," Yeah, because we all know how considerate of you extortionists get when you actually pay up to make the problem go away.
27:14, "My mother made the claim the punishment was too severe," You Lied about your own son and an attempt to extort money from him, got him fired, I expect to pay less because your family torturing family?
32:09, "People ask if if I considered the financial aspect of my mom and her boyfriend's ruling excessive," Not in the slightest. This group of liars and extortionists received very little actual impact to their lives, and in the end are only complaining because they got caught in their lives and we're not forgiven for ruining their responsible Sons life.

Unfit parents use the bio kids as resources for step family 💔🚩🤦🏽🤦🏾💯❗ literally offer up as sacrifice for their comfort and support 😡
