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

competing offer triggered retaliation. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 11 years. My position is non-exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

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

I went through almost the exact same thing.

Here's where people usually go wrong is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

This is one of those situations where even a quick legal consult pays for itself.
