What is a fair value compensation for termination of employment after having worked for a private engineering company for 41 years? Is something like a week's salary for each year worked or a week for each 2 years worked, I have no idea what is fair. And it is fair to also consider extended health benefits for a period of time after the termination?

I recently was offered a position at another company and after accepting the offer verbally, it was rescinded. I was given full support by my current employer to go ahead for the new position since they had not offered a renewal of my contract up to the current date. After the offer was rescinded, I told my employer the very next morning that I will not be exiting my current position due to another offer. My current employer said they did not want to give me back my job and should still leave at the start date of the other position, which no longer exists! Do I have a case? I am now out of a job because the new employer backed out last minute and my current one wants to terminate me for good even though they supported me!

I was recently terminated due to restructuring, I felt that my co-worker who had been there less time should have been the one to go. When asked why me and not her they comment was made that the time served is not important and that she does reports for him, anyone can do reports. It's his sister in law!! I was given 8 weeks in lieu of notice and 1 week for every year. I do understand that this is the consider the standard but I feel that I do deserve more, I dedicated 10 plus years to this company. Do you think that I could win if I fight for more severance?
