your post does not make sense. Yes a lawsuit will usually state a maximum amount that the plaintiff would never likely get, but if he has no money he would not be able to sue and could not be bothered. He would have other stuff on his mind.
Likely, he has a huge chip on his shoulder over being treated badly. Someone at thti slevel would nboit sue unless he felt for sure he could win, as his reputation is on the line as well. He must have a major chip on his shoulder and feels he has been treated very badly.
Suing a company is a serious issue that he has to follow through on. There is no backing out (if he backs out he has to pay their costs as well). He would not do it without good reason.
In the end he will likelyt get a few months wages... but it is the principle that counts for him IMO.
