The Rules

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Did anyone else have a ton of trouble making sense of the headline? Granted, I'm not exactly sober right now, but that seems confusing.

Made no sense to me neither till I read the article..

The company gives people a card signed by other employees whenever they resign or whatever. Only 3 people signed it so they didn't give it to her. She then sues.

I figured "leaving card" is probably an English term, which is why us yanks didn't get the title.

I get the leaving card. What about the employment claim?

She went to the employment court to sue them over her dismissal

I love that Lemmy is more "old Internet", in that we are devoid of the corpo echo chambers, and we do have these confusions. It helps us all grow and learn. I was very confused as well. No comment on ABV of various bloodstreams.
