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

competing offer triggered retaliation. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 3 years. My position is 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?

Every time I see a post like this...

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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.

You could try handling it yourself but honestly a lawyer speeds things up 10x.

I've dealt with this before.

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