Hi there i am a student and worked at a canadian tire auto shop for a year partime and took on more hours when i finished school. Yesterday i was terminated due to services no longer required and there was an issue where a wheel fell off a car and was my first mistake at work in the entire year and never had any other issues i receieved a thank you letter from the store owner about 2 weeks before this as i stayed late to help a customer get his tire fixed and he called in to compliment my service. My boss offered 3 weeks serverance. Is this termination justified from one mistake i made recently. they made it look like a lay off. I dont understand others have made worse mistakes on customer cars.
