About a year ago, the firm that I work for went through an internal corporate restructuring, as a result I have a new boss, in a new team, in a new group, and double the work. Everyone told me that I would have a runway to get "up to speed" with the changes in work/team, but in reality there isn't lenience, and I am constantly being reprimanded for not meeting my new bosses Idea of "quality work". I feel like my employer wants to fire me. If/When I get terminated, what are my rights? What action can/should I take? I have been with the firm for 5 years
