Hi I applied for a purchasing job and after negotiating pay, I was hired as purchasing supervisor. Six months later (May 16) I was advised that die to reorganization if Purchasing and Logistics functions my employment was terminated. I noticed that they have advertised for a purchasing logistics associate that will be reporting to the purchasing logistics coordinator. I believe the coordinator was given a pay raise and her title was not changed but basically she was given my job. I left my position at my old company because I wanted to shorter commute but I had job security and they were aware. Also, I am 55 years old and feel that I am having issues finding a job because of my age. I have not signed anything from company. Is there anything that can be done. I feel this is not fair and I have never been given any reason that my performance was lacking, as a matter of fact, I was given my 3 month performance raise. I think they just didn't want to pay the wages they agreed on.

Hello,

Thank you for your question.

My name is Chris Justice and I am a lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.

Generally speaking, no specific reason needs to be given when a termination occurs.

That said, you may very well still be entitled to more compensation than the company is offering. I suggest you give our firm a call to schedule a consultation. From there we can gather more information and be in a better position to properly advise you as to your rights and entitlements.
