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?
