Add Comment Question: I was working for a company for 2 years and was promoted to supervisor, supervising 25 people over 2 shifts. The contract I signed claimed that my new wage was the "start" wage, and several different 'bonuse' were suggested in the same contract; the contract also stipulated that no 'overtime' would be asked for from me nor paid for if worked. Soon after the promotion I was working 50 hour weeks, time worked both in the office and at home. I hired 10 people and fired 2, in 5 months. During the supervisory time I had to discipline 2 employees, whom I did not fire. After 5 months of working so hard and improving the department I was resposible for in numerous ways, and after not being offered any bonuses or raises, I asked for a raise. I got the raise, but suddenly my bosses started being much more critical of what i was doing, including making unsubstantiated allegations that other employees had been expressing their 'discontent.' A mere 2 - 3 weeks after having got the raise, I was called to the president's office and demoted, and my bosses chose someone to take over that supervisory position whom I had previously personally designated 'employee of the month.' Ironically, a 'good friend' and co-worker of that newly promoted individual was one of the same people I had previously disciplined, and not 3 weeks after this new supervisor was promoted into the position I had just previously occupied, I was once again called to see the president and vice president, I was sent home in the rain pending a mysterious 'investigation' that they would not reveal to me the nature of, though the president had started that last meeting with the phrase "it's not working out, there is friction in the department..." Later in the evening I received a notice of termination email from the president. Might I be entitled to any compensation beyond the termination pay (2weeks) based on the bad behavior of this company and it's upper management? I had not received any disciplinary 'interviews' or been met with any specific charges surrounding elements of this 'discontent' or friction. The termination was out of the blue. Plus I found out after the fact from a former co-worker that the so called culminating incident which led my bosses to suddenly send me home one morning, was based on the fact that my new supervisor (the one whom I'd designated employee of the month) was reading an email that I had sent to the V.P. and which the supervisor was included in to receive, and my supervisor was dissapointend in the fact that they found the English usage in my email difficult and confusing, stemming from the fact that English is not this person's native language, and this person has been in Canada 4 years; they thought I was intentionally trying to 'confound' them with the simple idiom: nothing to write home about... Answer: You are certainly owed much more than 2 weeks pay. I would like to see your termination letter and your employment agreement. Please give me a call to discuss this.
