I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

fired while on medical leave. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 5 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?

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
