Add Comment Question: I was fired after 36 years and only verbal. Never in writing. Can they do this? It was because someone lied and said I called the Boss a not nice name hich I can prove I did not. Dont know what to do Answer: You must challenge your termination and pursue your severance package, which is worth up to two years of pay after such lengthy service.
