Just to put some details around this. You hire a lawyer, which will cost $2K-$3K. The lawyer helps you document everything. Then when you're ready to leave, the lawyer sends a demand letter to the company - demanding severance pay. The severance is something like 3-6 months of pay to bridge you to find another job. If you're making $100K and get 3 months severance, that's $25K - well worth it financially and for your mental health to find a new job. EDIT: 1) Don't even need to go to court. 2) It's a nice F-off to the boss because their boss and above will now know what's happening.
