Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

remote worker being told to relocate or resign. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 1 years. My position is 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've dealt with this before.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I went through something similar. The waiting period for the labor board was about 3 months.
