Hypothetical question

Quick background on my situation in Indiana — any input appreciated.

AI replacing my position without severance. I've been dealing with this for about 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 8 years. My position is non-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?

Idk but following this thread — Are you me? Literally going through this rn.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Obviously I don't know all the details of your situation though.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. Every situation is different so YMMV.
