This is an attorney advertisement. As an employment lawyer that has represented employees and employers, take everything in this video with the grainiest of salts. And if you ever go to a YouTube channel and it has a gawking face with “how to get a $1,000,000 settlement” as a title to the video, you should be as suspicious as you are about the hot single moms in your area that want to date you.

Um maybe they don't want to date you but I happen to be quite the catch for hot moms in my area.

While he is indeed advertising himself, he is also not wrong.

He is and he isn’t. I started writing a long comment dissecting one of his points and then I stopped when I realized that for me to write that comment without spending all day working on it and providing you the nuance, would be doing you just as much of a disservice as he is in this video. So why even bother telling you that? Because it’s important to send a message that providing guidance on how to interact with your employer, in a world where employees spend a large portion of their lives at work, is complicated. It can’t be whittled down to a 14 minute video. And if someone is trying to do that, then you should be suspicious of their motivations for doing so. In this case, it likely has done its job. Somewhere out there, there is an employee that is going to take some portion of the advice in this video, potentially put their job at risk, and then a new client is born. Talk to a lawyer, don’t watch one on YouTube.

No one is saying "don't talk to a lawyer, just watch this single YouTube video". It's like you are having an argument with yourself and just stating the obvious.

I think he made some decent points and gave some good information for people who have little to no working experience. That being said nothing he said should be news for people who have some working experience. Everyone knows not to trust HR (in most scenarios).
