I was terminated from my company yesterday which has come as a shock. As far as I was aware I was doing everything correctly, exceeding all of my sales goals and targets (I managed a large pet store for a small chain). They would not give me a reason for the termination other than 'I'm not a good fit'. They handed me a letter that stated they will be offering 4 weeks severance, paid in continuance and on your final pay as well as full bonus. My next pay day is Friday yet they have now said I won't get the severance and bonus until May 5th. I was wondering if there is a case here as I was able to retrieve a handful of more recent emails stating how well of a job I was doing. Unfortunately it appears that I was let go as I was more of a thret to my immediate boss. Any help is greatly appreciated as I have not been in this position before.
