I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

asked to sign non-compete after 3 years. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 12 years. My position is non-exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

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

A lot of people mess up by is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

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