Hypothetical question

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

supervisor making racist comments. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Illustrative response

For anyone overwhelmed by the 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.

Quick question for the group: has anyone successfully gotten severance added to a WARN Act claim? My attorney says it's possible but I haven't seen it.

In my experience, most employers settle once they realize you're serious about pursuing this.
