⚖️ Quick Disclaimer:
I’m not a lawyer — I just play one in HR meetings. 😉
Seriously though, this video isn’t legal advice. It’s based on my experience and meant to help you think through workplace situations. If you’re dealing with something serious (like a potential firing, discrimination, or retaliation), talk to a licensed employment attorney or other qualified professional who can give you guidance specific to your case.
