Hmm, 180 days, huh? That's quite a long time for them to still file a lawsuit. I wonder if that's a common timeline or if it varies by state.

Oh, wow, this is tricky! I thought the complainant couldn't sue after the EEOC found no reasonable cause. Looks like I need to brush up on my employment law knowledge.
