On mobile so apologies for formatting. Looking for advice on a legal issue in North Carolina. Here's what happened.

supervisor making racist comments. I've been dealing with this for about 3 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.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

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.

For wrongful termination cases: document everything in writing (emails, not verbal conversations), file your EEOC complaint within the deadline, and have the attorney send a demand letter with a draft complaint attached. Companies settle faster when they see you're serious.
