Remote Work Legal Issues — competing offer triggered retaliation

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

competing offer triggered retaliation. I've been dealing with this for about 14 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 9 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

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

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the FLSA and state wage laws. Your state may provide additional protections.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

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.
