Liquidated damages the DOL collects are paid out to the workers, so the assumption is that you are bragging about screwing the workers by 'negotiating' damages.
Let me ask you a question. Do you personally (or anyone else) think that there is anything wrong with trying to negotiate down what the government tried to recover and possibly penalize? Before you answer please review the facts here again:
"Do you personally (or anyone else) think that there is anything wrong with trying to negotiate down ... backpay owed by law to employees of my own company" FTFY.
Oh, and the answer is yes; there's a lot wrong with that.
