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

employer monitoring personal phone. I've been dealing with this for about 10 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 1 years. My position is non-exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

Here's where people usually go wrong is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

Not surprised at all tbh.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The trap most people fall into is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Went through something like this -- ended up getting a lawyer involved which made all the difference.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

So this is more common than people think.

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

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.
