Hypothetical question

Has anyone dealt with something like this in California? I'm not sure what my options are.

severance offer seems low. I've been dealing with this for about 14 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 1 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Of course the details matter a lot here.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Every situation is different so YMMV.
