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

hostile work environment complaint ignored. I've been dealing with this for about 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 9 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

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

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

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.

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.
