Ngl quick background on my situation — any input appreciated imo.

supervisor making racist comments. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 4 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Important to note: statutes of limitations vary by state. In California it's generally 4 years for written contracts and 2 years for oral contracts. Don't wait too long to take action or you might be time-barred....

I went through something similar last year. Filed with the EEOC and got a right-to-sue letter within 180 days. The key is timing — don't wait past the filing deadline.
