After 25 years of service at a financial institution my department is being eliminated and will be worked out of a central accounting unit. All bank branches are in the same boat, which means there's thousands of employee in the same position. I have until the end of September to find another position within the same financial institution, problem is I've applied for several positions but because the competition is so high and so many individuals in the same position I'm afraid that I'm going to be offered 1 year salary for 25 years of service and will end up losing my pension and not as employable at the age of 51. Please advise if it come to at Severance package should I be seeking legal advise before hand.
