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

competing offer triggered retaliation. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably Title VII, which requires showing discriminatory.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

I've dealt with this before.

The magic words were "let me speak to your supervisor"/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
