    I worked at a place that tried to use the private mails I wrote while at work against me in court. Where I am, that’s a criminal offense.

        I could have notified the police, but my attorney advised against it because it would have made the whole case a lot more complicated. I was suing them because of undue termination, they counter-sued. The whole thing ended in a settlement where I got a lot more money than my paltry initial compensation, which for me was a win.
