I expect to be terminated without cause in the near future due to restructuring at my company. I am in a middle-management position with 26.5 years of continuous service and I am 51 years old. Many of my colleagues have already been terminated as a result of downsizing and have received severance packages that have fallen short of what has been offered in the past. My question is, what should I expect to see in my package when I am asked to meet with my manager and hr? Also, as a DB member of my company's pension plan, I would fall short of being fully pensionable by 36 months, what are my employers obligations to me with respect to my accrued pension?

I was terminated out of the blue, even received a good review about 6 months prior, I told them before that I had a addiction problem and things went down hill from there to my termination day.

If you have worked for 14 years and was fired because of not comleteling a online training course(I was a couple days late because I don't have a computer at home and couldn't do it at work because it is to busy)does that give them a right to fire me?I received a termination letter stating my course wasn't done and then they brought up something I had been suspened for a month prior and also used that to fire me.If I have been disaplined for something already can they use that against me for the termination? They said it is "with just cause" so does this mean they don't have to pay me severnce pay or anything?

I left a full time job to start at a new place (different franchise for Same company). I was let go after two months, with the only response given that financial issues came up. I was given two weeks notice and pay only. I feel that even though it is a small business I’m being treated unfairly and I should be paid out more than 2 weeks, regardless of being there less than three months. Looking for some advice on this matter.

i was terminated because of something i had posted on my facebook page after having a frustrating meeting with the plant manager and my foreman
