It&#x27;s interesting that the attorney&#x27;s letter specifically says &quot;termination of your _employment_&quot;. Add that to the fact that he was &quot;fired&quot; initially because he didn&#x27;t show up for work, and it looks like he has a good case of arguing that this was a de-facto employment situation, not a contracting gig. How and if he could benefit from that, I don&#x27;t know.
