My former employer (owner) is in a lawsuit with the painter on the site I worked at, a $20M apartment complex. I received a subpoena from the owner for the lawsuit.

Long story short, the owner is a complete dick and treats everyone like shyt. Both employees and trades. I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire. The owner and painter would get in huge fights, almost coming to blows. It was crazy and I’d never seen that before at work. The owner was always threatening lawsuits with every trade and held the retainer owed to multiple subs, who don’t have the money to fight it. In general, he’s just a bad and miserable person.

The date of the deposition is the middle of the day and week. I work out of town all week and I’m not inclined to leave my job and drive two hours each way to help the owner.

I have no documents, emails, pictures, etc and don’t want to help the owner of either company, as they made my life hell for a year. I won’t make a good witness for either owner.

What are my options on the subpoena? What happens if I “forget” and don’t show up?
