You are very angry about their mistreatement of you. I understand this. But I would not be too quick in getting yourself a lawyer. You need to think this through. Lawyers cost allot of money. They will not take your case unless they are going to make money on it. Also lets say that you get what you are looking for, a redress of your grievances. So what? What have you actually accomplished? If you remain working there, they will force you out one way or another. Are you going to sue them for that too, when it happens? Forget using them as a reference. Furthermore, if a prospective employer manages to find out that you had even attempted to sue your former employer, they are very unlikely to hire you.

I know this has been painful, unrewarding experience for you. So go find another, even better job. Pride in your case can turn out to be a very expensive luxury, one which will likely prove nothing. If you have not already alienated them, of course the fault not being yours, do not do anything to burn that bridge. Smile, say thank you, and then look for another job. Life is not fair. That is the way it is much of the time.

There is nothing personal here. You are taking this much too personally. Working for a company is a type of business transaction. You deliver them a sevice for a fee. When either one of you find that this business arrangement does not work any longer, then both of you have the option to walk away from this deal. So my advice is to just walk away by finding yourself another job that works better for you.

Oh yes, you also need to think of another cost related to your thoughts regarding a lawsuite. I am not talking about money here. I am talking about your mental health. This is more important than any other perceivable gain to be had through a lawsuite. Instead I think you should focus on taking better care of yourself. IOW when you find yourself in an abusive rekationship, just simply leave for greener pastures elsewhere.

FWIW

PS Here is a *rhetorical* question. If they have been treating yiu so poorly, why did you stay there working for them? Why did you let it get this bad? I am sure you have your reasons for this.
