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

employer monitoring personal phone. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 1 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?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

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

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

Update: filed in small claims court last week. Total cost was $75 filing fee + $20 for service by the sheriff. No attorney needed. The defendant (a major corporation) has to send a representative to appear in person. Most of the time they'd rather settle than send someone to small claims court over a few thousand dollars.
