Add Comment Question: I have been fired. I have been given the reason that " the company is going another direction of which I am not included" also two weeks prior had a run in with a person whose position I am still unclear of. He asked me three questions in front of my direct boss , I tried to answer and was met with " do you wanna walk?" " Go walk " ..I am still unclear as to his official position ...as a result , I finished my restaurant waitering shift , asked to cash out and was given permission to leave unsure of what just transpired but told confidently by the manager I was not fired and to show up for my next shift. Today I was told she was mistaken and that I was fired. Answer: Thank you for your question. My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. If your manager has an email, I would recommend sending an email right away confirming your conversation and that you have been terminated from your position. The next best thing would be a text message. It would also be a good idea to ask for your Record of Employment. It is important to get these things in writing because employers will often try to make up stories later on that you quit in order to deny you your severance. Once you have that in writing, please give us a call at the number below and we will make sure you have an appropriate severance package.
