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 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 6 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Anyone else notice that companies respond much faster when you CC the state AG or include 'CFPB complaint pending' in your letter? It's like a magic phrase. They go from 'we'll look into it' to 'let's resolve this today.'
