Noah: I know a way to deal with this. It rhymes with smillotine
“Guillotine,” Zane clarified.
“Thanks. I never would have gotten that.” I shot him a quick smile.
Gray: viva la revolution
Nick: we ride at dawn!
Quinn: Before we go that route, she pointed out that a strongly worded letter from an attorney threatening to expose them might be enough to get them to honor your contracts and pay you in full through the end of it. The PR fallout if we go to the media would cost them more than what they’re trying to save by doing this
Noah: that’s probably the better idea
Zane: how are we supposed to find a lawyer to write this letter?
Zane: not that I’m not grateful for the advice. I am. Thank you. But none of us know any lawyers
Quinn: Aviva’s already drafted one. I just need someone to forward me the emails you got, and a copy of your contracts for this job so she can finalize the details
Nick: Your lawyers name is Aviva? That’s pretty
Nick: oops. Sorry.
He added the ‘speak no evil’ emoji.
Nick: Im shutting up
Gray: you’d do that for us?
River: that’s so awesome of you. Thanks
Quinn: of course. This is bullshit. No way in hell am I just going to sit by while a bunch of suits fuck with my friends
Nick: the hero we didn’t know we needed!
Nick: damn it. okay. *now* I’m gonna be quiet
He posted a GIF of someone zipping their lips.
River: no you wont
Gray: and we love u for it
Noah: you think this letter will help?
Quinn: can’t hurt. Usually these corps try to bully people into submission. They give in pretty quickly when you fight back, especially if you fuck with their public image
Quinn: Aviva said she’s happy to dig into their public profiles and find more shit to expose if the letter doesn’t work. These mega corps never stop at just breaching contracts and wage theft. There’s always more if you look for it and they don’t want us to do that
Noah: thanks man
Quinn: I’m happy to help. And I have selfish reasons too
Zane: selfish reasons?
Quinn: I was going to wait until the next time we were all at work together before I brought this up, but I might as well float the idea now to give you some options
Gray: options?
