workplace Discrimination: Gender Pay Gap — this can't be right

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

hostile work environment complaint ignored. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 6 years. My position is 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?

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the FMLA, which requires showing qualifying and covered.

Depending on your state there might be legal aid orgs that cover this too.

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.

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.

Not gonna lie, I put off calling an attorney for weeks. Wish I hadn't waited.

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.
