If you’ve ever felt underpaid, overworked, manipulated, retaliated against, or like something just isn’t right at your job… this episode is for you.

Today on Off My Meds, I’m sitting down with employment attorney and social media powerhouse Ryan Stygar (@AttorneyRyan), a former firefighter turned labor lawyer who has built a massive following exposing what employers and HR departments don’t want workers to know.

His new book, Get It In Writing: The Ultimate Guide to Your Rights at Work, breaks down how employees can actually protect themselves in today’s workplace — without immediately blowing up their careers.

We get into:
• Retaliation at work
• Toxic workplace culture
• Wrongful termination
• HR myths
• Wage theft & overtime issues
• Fear of speaking up at work
• Toxic productivity culture
• Paper trails & documenting everything
• Severance agreements & exit traps
• Workplace discrimination
• What is actually illegal vs just “shitty” behavior

We also dive into the emotional side of modern work culture — the fear of being blacklisted, punished for advocating for yourself, and conditioned to tolerate burnout in exchange for “professionalism.”

Because at the end of the day, if you work for a living… this conversation applies to you.
