They didn't give me any warning They just called me in the office said were letting you go Here is a letter and you will get 4 weeks severance And we graciously offered 2 extra weeks of severance If you sign this form and get it back to us by this date The letter states if I sign it I agree to all terms and cannot Per sue any legal actions Should I sign it ? I'm a new mother and really need the money But feel that this extra 2 weeks is being dangled in front of me so there deviant act stays hidden. Answer: What you describe is illegal. They owe you much more than the 6 weeks pay they offered you. There may also be human rights issues. It is important that we speak. Please give me a call at the number below.
