Hypothetical question

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

severance offer seems low. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks 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.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Illustrative response

For anyone overwhelmed by teh legal process: break it into steps. (1) Gather all documents, (2) Write a timeline of events, (3) Research applicable laws, (4) Send a demand letter, (5) If no response, escalate to regulatory complaint or court. You don't have to do everything at once ngl.
