@molly0xfff One of the big benefits of being your own legal department is that you actually have your own interests at heart.

Anyone who thinks a corporate legal department or a corporate HR department is looking out for the interests of the employee is living in fantasy land.

HR and Legal are there solely to protect the corporation. Never think otherwise.
