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?
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
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.
I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
The magic words were "let me speak to your supervisor"/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.
This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
