Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

asked to sign non-compete after 3 years. I've been dealing with this for about 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 3 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

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.
