The ex-boss had filed a workman's comp claim against the ex-job. Her suit alleged that the day before she was fired, she received an injury and is therefore due a workman's comp settlement. (I can't write details of what the injury was, but let's just say that *if* the incident occurred, it would've been her fault for going delinquent on the service that would've prevented it. And oh yeah, she'd also gone delinquent on the workman's comp insurance!!)
Anyway, the suit also alleged that she was wrongfully terminated, because the person who hired her (the "consultant" - who used to be the board's president) had guaranteed in writing that she would have X number of years of employment.
The hearing was supposed to be tomorrow. The Spy and other former coworkers were set to testify. Then yesterday, the consultant told the board's lawyer that she couldn't remember if she had given the ex-boss a guarantee in writing about the number of years she would be employed or not... (HOWEVER: guarantee or not, if you EMBEZZLE money from your job, that's an appropriate reason to get fired!!) Anyway, the Spy and ex-coworkers were set testify, when word came down that their testimony was no longer needed.
They fucking settled out of court! That BITCH is getting more money from them. WTF????? I don't know how much she's getting, but she *is* getting money. I cannot fucking believe this bullshit.

It's the non-profits insurance that chooses to fight or to settle and who willultimately have to pay any settlement. If their witnesses aren't really getting their shit together and their sotry is not solid, it makse no sense to move forward witht he case b/c the insurance company will end up with so many legal fees. If the ex-boss had one, the insurance company would have to pay their won legal fees and hers. It is a practical matter for the insurance company (cheaper to settle when their is rsik of losing). It is so awful really because now the ex-boss elarns that her actions get her what she wants. disgusting! And the insurance rates for the non-profit will now go up, which means less money will go to those the non-profit is meant to help and more will go to insurance - b/c of the bi-atch.
i would so love to beat her ass for you, and for the beneficiaries of the non-profit who will now benefit less.
grrrrrrr.
