Add Comment Question: My replacement was hired in September 2015 (that she would replace me was unknown but suspected at the time). I trained her, her title was VERY similar to mine, and she was hired because she was friends with the hiring manager's inter company friend. I was just terminated and have been told by numerous employees that this woman is now sitting at my old desk and acting as a replacement. In my termination meeting I was told my role would not be replaced and that I was being let go to 'trim the fat' and cut costs. Is this wrongful dismissal? Answer: While your employer is permitted to terminate your employment, it must provide you with an adequate severance package. To determine if you received a fair severance package, please consult the severance calculator at the link below.
