Misclassification As An “independent Contractor” Working For Celebrities?

Location: company is based in California

I was hired as a 1099 employee at $18/hr to do marketing for famous people. After taxes, I make maybe $13. I work 20-40 hours a week, and those are assumed and dictated by my boss, the owner of the company. No HR, no benefits, etc. Our “team” is less than 5 people. I have several different celebrity clients who he asks me to do things for. They are difficult to work with. I am often working late nights and weekends. I use his softwares and systems, and am requested to do things and have meetings a recurring times.

It sounds crazy, but these are famous people that you absolutely have heard of and I work with them directly. However, I just had emergency surgery and was asked to work the day of said emergency. I haven’t taken a full day off for a year and even this extreme incident was just an inconvenience to him. I have now been informed this could be misclassification.

He has a pretty ironclad NDA and all these rules about not talking about the job. He treats me like he already does “too much” for me and keeps asking for MORE and more. I have 10 years of experience. I have to give a 60 day notice if I leave. Do you think this is worth pursuing a lawyer for? He will hate me and I will burn bridges, but I’m sick in bed right now in extreme pain realizing how much I’m being taken advantage of.

What do I need to be documenting?
