need_help_buyer_2026 OP

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

mass layoff without WARN Act notice. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 12 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with 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.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.
