I explained my family situation n expressed my concern that i was afraid of losing my job. He told me not to worry about it. This past thrusday i got fired stating my job performance was suffering. I was informed i would be given 4 weeks severance pay. My question is this acceptable from an employer Answer: Thank you for your question.
