I've been trying to resolve this in Tennessee on my own but I'm stuck.

remote worker being told to relocate or resign. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

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

Following this thread — I could have written this post myself. Same exact problem.

I see this constantly on this sub.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Went through something like this -- ended up getting a lawyer involved which made all the difference.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

If you can swing it, a consultation is probably your best next move here.
