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

DOGE layoff with inadequate severance. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

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

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under OSHA regulations. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct a safety violation.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

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