The only reason I ask is because, at the end of the day, the employer played by the rules. They may have not conducted themselves in a respectable way, but they still played by the rules. Can you honestly say you think a rampant enough problem that you feel responsible to protect others? Or are you in this to teach a lesson?
Some bridges are better left unburned, especially when it comes to business. Just make sure you’re doing things for the right reasons, and not just to make yourself feel better.

I'd echo this too. Many years ago, I also felt wronged by a lay-off, so I got an employment lawyer involved. Nothing changed for me or my situation and my severance got a big ding in it from the lawyers fee. Unless there is some really nefarious or illegal stuff going on in the background, I would leave it alone and move on to bigger and better things.
