I have been working in a managerial position for a large company for 27 years. I am 68 years old and had all good intentions of working until I am 69 years old which means another year. I have just recently received a letter of final warning that unless I changed my aggressive attitude to staff and workers including contractors my position will be terminated. They have wrongly accused me of many occurrences and have brought up instances which are false and had occurred several years ago. Am I eligible to request that I get a settlement and leave the company a year earlier than I had planned. I cannot afford to just quit now and they are making my working environment very stressful and I feel that I am being pushed out gently that they really want me to quit.

I quit my job as I did not agree with the company's ethics. A few days later I received an email I shouldn't have that said they were going to fire.me. I sued for constructive dismissal and won. 4.momths later my new employer was bought by my old employer, the one I quit. I knew.my days would be numbered. They fired me with no cause a year later and upon returning from a medical leave. They did not give me adequate notice and I am a.senior executive. I feel I was targeted and this is also a human rights issue. How would this case look in a court? I have so.much proof of how poorly I have been treated and yet I was a.well.liked leader. I am pissed.

A chef at work put his hands on me and I got suspended. The top chef was avoiding me so I texted him and he said I am suspended until the matter gets resolved. I met up with him a week later and he said I am fired.

I was not happy about how my manager was treating me compared to my co-workers. I was sometimes not invited to training session which my co-workers were invited to. I voice my concerns to my manager and even went to Human Resources with my concern. Two days later, I was fired over the phone.

Can I be fired with just cause and not receive severance pay for a job I've performed in Ontario Canada for the past 35 years?
