He was never asked nor questioned to find out what the problem was.. or what the situation was?? when he asked for details they said they could not say at this time

The store that I work at ended up changing the ownership of the business. He sent us an e-mail regarding the situation and told us we would all be terminated, unless they do decide to re-hire us. This e-mail was sent on Friday, October 7th , 2016 and he expects the ownership to be changed by Saturday, October 15th, 2016. I don't think that is lengthy enough to allow us time to find new jobs in case the new ownership does not re-hire us. Thank you for your response!

I was working at a Marine as a labourer/mechanics assistant for my third season, i was fired because my supervisor asked me to torque a wheel on a trailer on the Friday before the may 24 weekend, and the opposite wheel fell off on the weekend when the customer came to pick up his boat, I was fired the following Tuesday when I returned to work,. I didn't get paid for my holiday Monday, nor did they give me a written or verbal warning about termination. My supervisor and boss were also placing bets whether I was doing something right, and they thought it was hilarious. I felt belittled. I was fortunate enough to find another job working construction a week later. Am I entitled to severance pay? And should I file a claim to the ministry of labour?
