Hypothetical question

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

DOGE layoff with inadequate severance. I've been dealing with this for about 4 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 8 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Illustrative response

Real talk: important to note: statutes of limitations vary by state. In California it's generally 4 years for written contracts and 2 years for oral contracts. Don't wait too long to take action or you might be time-barred tbh.
