Hypothetical question

Using a throwaway bc my boss knows my main. Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

NDA prevents me from getting new job. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Standard disclaimer: talk to an actual attorney for your case.

Illustrative response

Three things I wish I knew before my dispute: (1) Save copies of all communications in multiple places, (2) Send important correspondence via certified mail with return receipt, (3) Keep a detailed timeline of events. These three things won my case.
