Hypothetical question

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

competing offer triggered retaliation. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and teh situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 3 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Illustrative response

I've dealt with this before.

Most folks screw this up by is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
