I was given a break from 3-4 ( had to punch out) and then I took another hour break that I wasn't aloud from 5-6 without punching out. I have never been written up before. Should I have been fired?

What are the rules of discussing salary? I work with my dad and I told him my hourly wage. Someone else found out my wage I'm assuming by my father and I am being harrassed by my HR rep for it. She told me I was not legally allowed to tell anyone including family my salary. Is that true and can i get in trouble for it?

I was terminated from my job that I was at for 5 months. No reason was given to me but when I called HR after being let go they said it was due to performance. I was given a performance review but had time to improve but was let go before that time.

I was terminated 2 days ago after 4 years 7 months.In the letter there is not a reason. They offer me 8 weeks. Is fair ??

My husband was dismissed from work. In the letter the company wrote that he was not a ggood fit from the organization. He worked for this company for 2 years but he was employed at the same mill for 40 years but the mill changed owners several times. They gave him a waiver to sign within 7 days and told him to get the 2 weeks severance and the vacation pay he had to sign, so he did. He didn't talk to anyone as he was ashamed, but after a few weeks people told him that it was a mistake signing the form and that he should sue. I believe he was taken advantage of by the company and they didn't pay him a fare severance
