Good afternoon.
I was terminated from my employer this morning after working my full shit (I am a midnight worker and my shift is 11pm-7am). At approximately 6:30am I was asked by my boss to attend a private meeting. There was my supervisor, my supervisors Manager and an HR representative present. The Manager said that "we do not feel that you are going to be a part of the companys future and the company is going in a different direction and does not feel that there is a future here with you (I) in it". I was given paperwork that I did not sign. The paperwork does not give a clear reason or any indication as to why I'm being terminated. The managers and myself have not had a good standing relationship after being accused of selling narcotics at the work place two months ago and was never proven. I was not disciplined for that incident, however I did sign a letter stating that I was aware of the accusation. I have received a text message from a coworker this morning stating that the Manager has already announced to the entire day crew that I have been terminated which I feel is a breach of my privacy. I would like to know if I have grounds for a wrongful dismissal case. Thank you in advance.

Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you have been wrongfully dismissed and are entitled to a severance package.
