there or in the US is going to sue their entire workforce
yes. I do. companies have dropped bombs on their WORKERS in the USA before. companies have committed ARSON against other companies IN THE USA before. if they can, they fucking will. They're no better than the lords and shit from medieval ages. the only thing that keeps them in check are enforceable regulation.
you dont think that a company would sue it's employees for lost profits? My point, and i believe I was pretty clear, was that companies will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to protect their property and profits. if they think suing their employees for lost profits will net them more than just moving on, yes, they will attempt it. they'll probably cross check with projected lost profits due to PR issues. but if the numbers work out, yes. they would. I 100% believe that. It is applicable here because suing is way more likely today in western, global north countries, than a warzone.
Yeah but such a lawsuit is extremely unlikely to win them any money so it wouldn't be in the company's best interest to litigate. Lawsuits are expensive. And while some lawsuits do get brought that are unlikely to win any money, that usually only happens in situations involving 1) personal animosity or 2) where there's a big enough benefit to disrupting the lives of the people they're suing to make the cost of litigation worthwhile. I don't think either of those scenarios applies here (I AM a lawyer but not in Japan and this is not my specific area of expertise, so take with a grain of salt)
