Worker Misclassification as Independent Contractor — Disability

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

hostile work environment complaint ignored. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

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.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.
