Looking for advice on a legal issue in Minnesota. Here's what happened.

DOGE layoff with inadequate severance. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks 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's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Not surprised at all tbh.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
