Add Comment Question: Hello. I am a technologist in the architectural discipline who has 18 years experience. When I applied for a job at an architectural firm my resume clearly indicated senior technologist. I was hired. I worked there for 10 months until the company let me go along with a few other employees due to lack of work. In my dismissal letter it refers to me as an intermediate technologist, I talked to my co-worker who has 9 years experience and asked him what they put on his dismissal letter. He indicated that they called him a junior. I am aware that if you let an employee go due to lack of work, you cannot hire someone in that same position until a certain time period (a year?). I know that they ran out of work, but I am also under the impression that they are referring to me as intermediate and my coworker as junior for the purpose of tricking the government by dividing us into these categories. If they called me a senior and my co-worker an intermediate they would not be able to hire a senior in a few months or so when it picks up but if they called my an intermediate and my co-worker a junior, it gives them the ability to hire a senior immediately when it picks up. Do I have a case here. After 18 years of experience, I don't see this as fair, and I don't see it as legal. could ask them to change the letter, but the government will get the original letter saying I was an intermediate. Do I have a case? Answer: The Company has the legal right to end your employment, BUT they must provide you with severance. You absolutely have a case for severance.
