Important: worker Misclassification as Independent Contractor: Age Discrimination

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

commission payments suddenly stopped. I've been dealing with this for about 12 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 10 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

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.

My buddy went through something identical.

The thing that gets people is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
