BI want to sue my employer for misrepresenting the company to me before I joined and misrepresenting the company to clients/outside world. The reality of my company is nowhere near the management portrays it to be and its a total shithole company. They are not actively investing in the growth of the company and I have a presumption that they are skimming cash flow for personal use.
Can I sue my employer on grounds of misdirection and lies and working against company interest?

BYou can’t sue your employer because he’s shit at managing the company. You can probably sue them for harassment but you’ll need to show evidence if you want to see damages. Example would be being forced to work longer than 60 hours a week, delayed salary payments, constant denial of leave, sexual harrasment, etc..
The problem is the legislature is so weak it’s almost non existent. Nothing prevents your employer from firing you after you file a suit for damages against you. There is also nothing stopping them from spreading that information onto a black list, preventing future employment in other places.
You can quit, nothing stops you from doing so. You can rant about their company on LinkedIn or Glassdoor or reddit. They’ll probably try to sue. But you can say it’s your opinion or whatever and get away with it.
Working for companies sucks ass man. Very weak laws to protect employees from exploitation. The law that does exist leaves it open to interpretation, and it’ll take a while for your case to be properly settled. Because they will appeal, and so will you. Until 20 years later they decide to settle with you, which will pretty much sum up your costs incurred for the law suit and the appeals in such cases so you’re back to square one, except youre much older now.

BYea I figured this was going to be the answer, just wanted to see what the community thought. What about if I sue after I leave? Can I sue for misappropriation?
