I don't know if they have much of a case to sue you, if you fall through the cracks on their own negligence. Fire you, yes. Sue, I am doubtful most larger businesses would even try. They'd rather solve the problem and sweep it under the carpet in my experience. Not USA experience of course, but still the attitude would be similar I expect.

I would worry a bit about whether they're allowed to give negative references though. Because if so, it might not be so easy to get another job after.

Best move would be to line up another job to start like a month before the review, and never reach the review stage. Even if discovered, most people that would "know" wouldn't really be driven to report anything if they're leaving anyway. The "not my problem, and this will make it my problem" attitude in big companies is real.

I think in Spain ther was a legal case, but that person was paid for decades without any work. And it was also public funda, as the employer was some municipality iirk

I looked at that. Actually I would argue that was even more negligence by the management there. I mean they couldn't even say how long he'd not been working for.

But in reality he was paid for at least 6 years of work (and they suspected more) and only fined for 1 year of pay. So, he's still a winner I think. And yes, public funds likely did help in bringing that case forward.

Most larger private businesses tend to avoid going to a court for such things unless they need to in my experience.

I would love to hear someone leverage this negative review as cleverness in an interview though
