[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 550877, member: 2784"] That happens all the time. This is about Joseph's job and career - and she has every right to play hardball if she and her lawyer believe it is the best way forward. Stansbury and GT are big boys as well and used to conducting high stakes negotiations with their head and not their pissed off parts. If GT chooses to go forward with their complaint (not assured at this point), then both sides are going to make calculations on what they have to have in any settlement versus what their risk is of being found wrong in court - and what the cost of being found wrong is. Joseph is simply laying a marker that she is planning to make this deeper than just the salary outstanding. Likely a smart legal marker - again realizing I nor anyone else at this point knows anything about the case/accusations themselves. At a base level I think she makes something around $600K and is under contract for one more year. She has a high powered employment lawyer. I can see a scenario where she wants to keep as much of that coming money as possible and keep things under CDA so she has a shot at continuing her career. GT wants to get her gone and move on with a minimum of muss and fuss. Both sides have to calculate what going to trial costs - money and reputation - and find a number and circumstances that work. GT could see trial costs of $600K fairly easily and the disruption of discovery on their operations plus as much unpleasantness in discovery as Joseph's legal team can come up with - and I expect they can be pretty good at it. Again, settlements - even of strong cases - happen all the time - and why a good litigator is a negotiator more than a "lawyer". How many times have you seen s settlement announced where someone pays a fine and makes changes but admits no guilt and most of the evidence remains under seal? I don't know what is going on but Joseph laying out accusations doesn't bother or surprise me in the least. And doesn't change my expectation that if there is anything here there is an 80+% chance there is a settlement more than a court case. [/QUOTE]
