Stress at work - Can I sue my manager
I am having so much stress at work, I work very often from 55h to 72h a week.
This IT environment is so much hassle and discriminating that makes me sick.
I don't want to be jobless now but
I wonder if I can sue the managers
after I got a new job.

You potentially have a stress claim under worker's compensation laws. You have to report your injuries. There are different ways to satisfy the notice requirements. Call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.

'Stress' is a workers comp case. You would file through a WCAB specializing attorney. Call your local Lawyer Referral Service for names if you can't get recommendation elsewhere.
If you are not paid properly for your hours, you could file a claim for unpaid compensation with the Labor Commissioner.
IF you have evidence to prove there is actual civil rights based discrimination [race, age, sex, etc], then you could pursue that case. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me about the discrimination and unpaid compensation.
