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

mass layoff without WARN Act notice. I've been dealing with this for about 14 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 7 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Not a lawyer believe it or not, but I have direct experience with this.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it 🤷.

Important reminder: most employment law claims have a statute of limitations of 180-300 days (EEOC) or 1-3 years (state claims). Time is not on your side.

Have you filed a complaint with the labor board yet? That's usually the first step.

Same boat here. The waiting is the hardest part.
