She tells you that the company is offering her 5 weeks of pay as severance, and that the supervisor told her that this offer is "quite generous."

Is there anything I can do to win my job back?"

Should Dasha accept the Company's offer and start to look for a new job or should she retain a lawyer to sue the Company? Explain the pros and cons of each option fully before making your clear recommendation.
