Re: RE: I'd be a lot less emotionally distressed after than before
You might think differently, if you were on the receiving end of a vindictive former employer(/manager) who takes any opportunity to bad mouth you.
I don't dispute that there'd be some emotional distress for being on the receiving end of something like that.
My point was that once the offending employer(/manager) had been found out and punished, and I'd been paid a huge chunk of change by way of compensation, I expect I'd feel less emotional distress.
With that logic it seemed odd to me that the before and after payments for emotional distress were the same value
