Check if your employer has an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). It sometimes includes free legal consultations. Also, many employment attorneys offer free initial consultations.

This sounds like a clear violation. Document everything and file with the appropriate agency. In California, you have strong protections under the Labor Code.

Don't resign — that weakens your leverage. Let them fire you if it comes to that. A wrongful termination claim is stronger than a constructive dismissal claim.
