Way back when I thought I wanted to go into law, I worked for an employment firm. Your story is very common and no, you don't have a case. I have heard of people literally having nervous breakdowns from work and they still didn't have a case. Also, attorneys cost money, a TON of money. With no guarantee you will win. My best advice is to to negotiate your severance to a few more months.
How would you do that? The only way to negotiate that would likely be through a lawyer, right?
Discrimate? Someone brough up an article showing Europeans get more PTO than in the US, that is a fact.
Similarly, in countries like Spain, Italy, France, etc people work longer hours. Office hours don’t end at 5 pm in those countries, there is no discrimination attempt here.
It is said in many sources that mobbing targets are often different from the norm. Being the only one of different nationality among a group would not seem to be so coincidental afterall.
“Targeting the different: Bullies hate people who are different from them. Who might be different to a bully at work? If you notice that you're being targeted along with others of the same race, sex, religion, national origin, or color, then the bully is engaging in illegal discrimination”
DOL Department of Labor would be the best place to get advice. And, possibly free legal help if they assess the situation on your side. https://www.dol.gov/

That makes no sense. The definition of discrimination is, "the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex." And a synonym of unjust is, "unfair". 1 + 1 = 2. <shrug>
Not all discrimination is illegal, but unfair treatment is discrimination; and all unfair treatment directed at someone because they are a member of a protected class is illegal.
Unfair treatment based on your coworkers simply being a******s and not liking you isn't discrimination. It sounds like that was the case here.
