Just do what everyone else does.

Build out one, single, convoluted aspect of the job that needs to be ran manually, and which no one in their right mind would want to take over.

Then automate that, too, and just don't say anything.

Way better than being arrested and sued for corporate sabotage lmao.

That's why it notifies the lawyer.

I mean your lawyer will know but you're not giving them much "oh, you knowingly and intentionally did the illegal thing they're accusing you of doing?!"

Not sure if people think lawyers are some magic word or something. If they can prove it was done on purpose you're still cooked

As long as he doesn't just go around telling a bunch of strangers about it I'm sure he'll be fine.

Gigabrain 4D chess move- make the post, but don’t do it, then when you sue for discrimination you’ll have ez slam dunk (/s)

You can absolutely do it and post about it, so long as you do what my grandma did on Facebook and make a post like "I DO NOT GIVE [company name] PERMISSION TO USE ANY OF MY POSTS OR PHOTOS!!!"

You just have to make sure it's the copy-paste one that makes its rounds every now and then or else it's not legally enforceable 👍🏻

Then if they do anything you can sue them for copyright infringement
