competing offer triggered retaliation — this can't be right

Quick background on my situation in Illinois — any input appreciated.

competing offer triggered retaliation. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

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

Not surprised at all tbh.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
