Quick background on my situation in Florida — any input appreciated.

fired after reporting safety violations. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Every time I see a post like this...

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Similar thing happened to me. The attorney I spoke with laid out options I didn't even know existed.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
