Not sure what you mean?
I entered the job right out of high school.
But why does the DEFENSE attorney want all this other documentation?

Not sure what you mean by entering the job right out of high school, what does that have to do with what Mr. K said?
The DEFENSE attorney (yes we do know which attorney you're talking about) is probably planning to closely inspect ("flyspeck") your written interactions with your former employer to determine if you've ever lied to your former employer.
The defense attorney wants to see all your previous financial records and your UI records to see what kind of compensation you might be asking for should the defense attorney try to settle.
This is pretty much exactly what Mr. K told you, hope you get it this time.
What I meant was that prior to my employment with the company that I am suing-- I only worked 2 other jobs at the ages of 18 and 19- then I got hired by the company where I remained until I was harrassed and laid off about 20 years. So I dont know why the defense is asking for these old W2 from way back then?
Ever lied to my former employer? About what? Sorry this is rather confusing at times and very convulated situation -but I do appreciate the help! Thanks so much.
It's been explained to you twice, but I'll try a third time.
They want to see your W-2s because your earning history is relevant to any claim for damages you may be making, and they are not inclined to take your word for what your earning history has been. They want to see proof.
a deposition is typically a simple question and answer session. The other attorney doesn't have to be nice to you but they are not going to be yelling and screaming at you either. They may be rude and even demeaning at times. Your lawyer will say something if the other lawyer gets out of hand.How will the deposition be? Should I be scared? I have a heart condition and dont want to be accosted or treated by the plantiffs attorney in a deaming manner.
and if you are so feeble due to your heart, your future ability to earn anything is surely limited. That could be a bad thing for you.
Why are they asking for all this? Because they CAN. They want to dig through everything they can get their hands on to see if it's either (a) relevant to your present lawsuit and/or (b) see if they can find something to discredit you. They aren't sure what they're looking for or what these records will contain so they want to get hold of everything that might possibly provide them with a legal strategy or line of inquiry. They might also just be trying to make the process as difficult as possible for you.
