Hypothetical question

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

competing offer triggered retaliation. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That's the general rule anyway, exceptions exist.

Update on my situation: sent a demand letter for unpaid overtime. The company's lawyer called within a week offering to settle for 80% of what I was owed. Sometimes the demand letter is all you need.
