OP here who was let go. I am not that guy who commented part b/uni never teach. Anyway, I am aware of my rights, but insisting on my legal rights in this industry may not bode well for me in the future. As mentioned, the industry is small and would I want to go against a firm with infinitely more resources than I do? Definitely not. I just wanted to gather practical advice on how to move forward from here.

Thanks for all the responses so far.

if they didnt make it clear to u that they will pay u salary in lieu which is ur right

then put it in writing to them la

any issues just nego first

cannot settle then go tadm

dont post about it online with identifying details

dont sue for your salary in lieu

this is why lawyers shouldnt act for themselves. client owe/owed money they know what to do. ownself owe/owed money they kalang kabok

the funniest kinds are the divorce/poha ones. for client they can summon the dragon the tiger all. then the very same ones kena cheated on or stalked/harassed they curl up one corner and cry

malu ttm

Doesn’t affect female lawyers as much. Men seems to be more emotionally affected

Doesn’t work this way.
Female lawyers don’t behave like that.
Maybe only male lawyers.
