Employer Retaliation After 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 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?

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the FMLA. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct qualifying and covered.

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

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.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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