I had worked for a company for about 1 to 2 years as a salesperson. The company was sold to another and the new owners let me go about a month after the new company took over. I was called into the office, asked how was I doing and was presented with a letter and cheque for 2 weeks wages. The letter simply said that my services were no longer needed. My supervisor was required to immediately accompany me to my car. As she was doing this she was crying and saying this is not right. I was given no time to say goodbye to my friends. The supervisor and I hugged, I got into my car and left the premises. No reason was given. I believe the reason I was let go was I was making $17.00/ hr and they needed somebody to work for less. Nothing was ever mentioned of me not doing my job properly, and nothing was ever said. Another person, I found out later was let go at the same time. This happened around July 2016. I have been working for another company shortly after I was let go from this one.
If you found a new job shortly after the termination, then you have effectively mitigated your damages as any income you earn from you new job will be deducted from what your previous employer would owe you in terms of damages during the notice period. So unless the new job paid you significantly less then your previous employment, it likely would not be worthwhile to pursue an action against your former employer.
