My replacement was hired in September 2015 (that she would replace me was unknown but suspected at the time). I trained her, her title was VERY similar to mine, and she was hired because she was friends with the hiring manager's inter company friend. I was just terminated and have been told by numerous employees that this woman is now sitting at my old desk and acting as a replacement. In my termination meeting I was told my role would not be replaced and that I was being let go to 'trim the fat' and cut costs. Is this wrongful dismissal?

While your employer is permitted to terminate your employment, it must provide you with an adequate severance package. To determine if you received a fair severance package, please consult the severance calculator at the link below. You can also contact our firm to discuss your severance entitlements with an employment lawyer.
