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

competing offer triggered retaliation. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 2 years. My position is non-exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

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.

Idk but been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case or something like that, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager....

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.
