I have been working for 1 company for over 22 years, at the year 23 one of division gave me written notice that I was not follow procedure with drawing changed but when I took over this project, some one who worked prior me took care for drawing changes, suppose to be program manager took care of it, and I ask for 40 hours that the company own me long time ago but not pay and not allowed me to take lieu time off. I made my resignation letter gave to Manager, he accepted, however, when I wend home, I met the CEO and asked for transferring, the COO called and transferring me to another plant, at the 4 months beginning to work on this plant everything was well but after that because pressure on new program launch, some issues happened that they gave me another written up because engineering change notice was not specified, second notice was a rabbit part was not painted....this is a new launching line and of course were not perfected....the third notice was termination letter because I scrapped 60 parts at material review board, these 60 parts could not be reworked because production line made mistake to make one dimensions out of tolerance....as engineer I see it can not be accepted and I scrapped it. My supervisor took this issue and terminate my job even I have been worked at 1 company for over 22 years....I have all evident that the line I was working on scrap trend from 11% at the beginning and now is 1%....I know my supervisor did not get along with me, that why in april I asked HR for transfer because I know sooner or later if he came after me will be get termination and it came reality I got termination letter.I do not know, was it wrong or right, but in my work history came from the other plants were always ok in the past 21 years of work..the owner know me well because I helped the company to save a lot of cost improvement ...please let me know......I know sooner or later they will terminate me......

can I sue my employer for wrongful dismissal after accepting severance pay

I am curious as to whether or not I have a case for constructive dismissal. I have not actually been terminated from my job. However, over the past year the executive director has essentially prevented me from being able to do my job and may now be demoting me.

if your employer fires you for assumed theft, but gives you no proof of said crime, can you sue him for deflamation of character.
