Important: supervisor making racist comments

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

supervisor making racist comments. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 8 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

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

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.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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.

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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

The trap most people fall into is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

Following this thread — Same. 100% same. Please update.

What trips people up most is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That's the general rule anyway, exceptions exist.

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

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

I've dealt with this before.

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