Look, I agree you disagree with me too... (sorry I am Canadian).
That doesn't change the fact that there are hurdles that atleast factor in to how the human who was fired in that scenario may feel? And isn't that a major component to the human experience, how we feel, especially in the situation where your employeer fired you for a reason you learned was their mistake? That's full on feel mode for me, I don't know if you have an iron will or what, but you can't always assume that the person in this case would take a step back and accurately make the correct rational judgment you have outlined (see? more agreeing from me!). I would personally be afraid to be blacklisted from the law field, as reputation matters. Even being known as someone who is litigious against your employer whilst also garnering news coverage (great, your name is everywhere for future employers to see) seems to the very _least_ be a tradeoff of getting justice vs all that negative shazz I mentioned.
