Li Ang hadn't expected that by speaking out just a step too late, his resignation had turned into a termination.

If this had been in China, the outcome would have been quite different.

Resigning on one's own accord meant no compensation, but company layoffs generally came with an n+1 severance package.

However, in America, a country where everyone imagines labor laws to be incredibly well-protected, the situation was not the same.
