I've been trying to resolve this in Colorado on my own but I'm stuck.

fired while on medical leave. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 11 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?

Important clarification on arbitration: if your contract has a mandatory arbitration clause, you generally CAN'T sue in court. But here's the thing — filing for arbitration is often MORE intimidating to companies because they have to pay the arbitration fees (often $3,000-5,000 for the company's share). Use this to your advantage.

My company tried the same thing — called it a "restructuring" but only laid off people over 50. Age discrimination is hard to prove individually but if there's a pattern, the EEOC takes notice.
