I was dismissed from my job on Friday after working for this company for 15 years with the only explanation of "we are taking a new direction". I was asked to sign a termination agreement at the time where they gave me 1 month notice and a few months severance which encorporates a bonus I was entitled to. I was in shock at the time and signed the agreement. Is this something I can still change and revoke or am I stuck now with what they gave me?

I am a senior district operation manager overseeing 5 stores(15million in sales). I was let go in the middle of the restaurant by the president alone. I was given the reason as it is not working out and the drive is too much. No written letter or pay notice presented. we do not have a signed contract but verbal in front of witness(vp of operations) It has been 4 days and no word. I have taken off company email. President said he will send me something. I told him it better be fair and i also told him you have broken your word and not paid me on the verbal agreement from over a year ago. I expect that pay as well. He said he is not fucking paying that.

Can I get fired because my organization found out I grew up in a poor and bad area? and even though I have nothing what so ever to do with the bad guys that still live in the area, and never did. I left for a better life but it seems to be an issue. I do not think its right that even though I left as soon as I got old enough for an education and a better life that I should be persecuted for having been raised there. What is my legal recourse?

I was promise that i would trained as a First Nations Safety Officer that was why i signed a paper, that stated i would have salary of $27040. a year. only to receive a termination letter without cause.

It's said in the letter that if I get another job my severance will be paid at 50% lump sum. Is that fair to force someone not to look for another job or getting cut off? How does one defend oneself , against such a severance terms ? Can this term be negotiated by you the lawyer with the employer ? Is this clause standard on all or most severance terms. ?
