Laid Off Dev Accuses Codemasters Of "Unlawful" Conditions

Since when do engineers expect overtime pay? Direct hires are all salary. And clearly he wasn't a contractor because he was laid-off.

In any case, sounds like a shitty place to work and he should have left months if not years ago.

If a company gives me a check, then that money is mine, right? Who gave them the right to suddenly say "Whoops! That wasn't your cash after all! Pay us back or you'll be bankrupt!" You gave him money. There are no take backs. That's his to spend. Do I really need to explain the concept of giving/paying to companies?

Just to let you know, that's entirely not how it works anywhere in the US. Finders keepers has very little legal weight.
