Severance Package Review — fired after reporting safety violations

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

fired after reporting safety violations. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 4 years. My position is 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?

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

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

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

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.

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