Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

supervisor making racist comments. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 11 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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