Employer Retaliation After supervisor making racist comments

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

supervisor making racist comments. I've been dealing with this for about 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 1 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

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

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, Title VII. Your state may provide additional protections.

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

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.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

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.

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

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.

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

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
