Add Comment Question: I was dismissed after 28 yrs with my employer. Reason...restructing. They told me going in a different direction.They hired someone for exact same position. I am 57 yrs old. I was done Sept 28/16. I do have a new job starting Jan 17/17. I was only given 10 weeks severance. Am I entitled to more?
