“I didn’t betray the client and get killed”

Betrayed the client and lived? /s

Yes, actually, I betrayed the client by preparing lots of paperwork and examples of the system working so when they went to court they would actually have to defend their position.

It didn't help me not get laid off though because losing 4 months of payroll in a chargeback is pretty brutal for a company's books.

And that company never came back from it. A subdivision of the company, survived, but the company lost its building, and most of its employees during the bankruptcy and restructuring. And it happened right before Christmas, so the entire company got laid off for the holidays, it was a lot of fun /s. Fuck predatory self-help companies...
