I have worked as a freight forwarder with this company for 6 years now. We recently got a new manager who has constantly been on my case since she started. She also had me train other employees to do my job and told me i would eventually learn to do theirs as this was just so we could cover eachother in the event of absence or vacation. Today i was terminated for "Services No Longer Required". They gave me my severance package of 8 weeks pay along with continuing my benefits for that same period. They need me to sign and return them in 7 days. Is this severance fair? Also does this sound like constructive termination?

Thanks

Thanks for your question. An 8-week severance package is very low for a 6-year employee and you are entitled to a notice period of 4 to 6 months. Please contact me directly ato 4162165761 do we can discuss your employment situation in greater depth.
