Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

employer monitoring personal phone. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 12 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

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 specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under OSHA regulations, a safety violation.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

Real talk: 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 honestly.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The trap most people fall into is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager tbh.

I eventually got results by escalating/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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