Employer Retaliation After DOGE layoff with inadequate severance

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

DOGE layoff with inadequate severance. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 9 years. My position is non-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've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the FMLA years for this type of claim.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

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 dealt with this before.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

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

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.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.
