Hypothetical question

On mobile so apologies for formatting. I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

employer changed my status to contractor. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 6 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?
