Add Comment Question: I was dismissed after 7 months on the job and told it had nothing to do with my performance. I was given the proper amount of pay in lieu of notice, but I am not entirely sure my position was eliminated as they said, claiming it was part of a "restructure". They are hiring for a similar, if not identical position in their northern office, and I was not offered the job. Do I have any reason to state wrongful dismissal or am I out of luck? My boss is who I answered to, and her sister was her sidekick of sorts, and neither one of them would talk to me or answer my emails for a few weeks leading up to my dismissal. They did offer me an extra week of pay if I signed that I won't go after them for any reason. Is that customary, or a reason to believe they know they did something wrong?
