I need to know how i stack up against defendants counsel as a pro se plaintiff. I inquired about FMLA in late july, was scheduled to meet with HR first week of august to discuss further and start the process, HR and * other employees released me of emplyment on the 5th of august two days before i was supposed to meet HR. They said i was inlcuded in and RIF due to budget shortfall within the insitution. another coworker in the same department was released that day and then rehired a week later. another fellow coworker in the same department who was only there a year compared to my three was retained. i ended up filing an eeoc charge where the employer then said i was chosen for the rif due to misconduct and noncomplaince which was not stated in my termination meeting even when i asked why me. the school even provided documentation to the eeoc to suport their statement which they obatined from my school email after i was terminated.

Your case seems strong, especially since you have documentation supporting claims of due process denial and bad faith. Generally, if your evidence is compelling, defendants might prefer to settle rather than face a trial. However, each case is unique, and outcomes can vary.
