I was dismissed, and I quote, "because you seem unhappy" can I fight this?

Hi there, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, an employer does have the right to terminate an employee for any reason, even "because you seem unhappy", as long as the reason is not discriminatory in any way, and as long as the employee is paid the proper amount of severance. Use our Ontario Severance Pay Calculator (www.severancepaycalculator.com) to find out how much you are owed, and give us a call at the number below to discuss your situation in further detail. We would be happy to help in any way we can.

Could that not be descrimination against mental illness?
It certainly can, depending on the circumstances of your employment and termination.
