Workplace Discrimination — Disability

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

severance offer seems low. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 7 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

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

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

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.

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under Title VII, discriminatory.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

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

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I've dealt with this before.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

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.
