Hypothetical question

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

gig company reclassifying workers. I've been dealing with this for about 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 8 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. But yeah, have someone look at your specific situation.
