I worked as a manager of operations for 10 years and in January 2016 they announced they were closing our division with no exit plan for the business. I was asked to stay on at my regular salary and close the division which meant I coordinated the dismantling, disposal, etc of the whole operation. They offered to keep me on as a sales executive after the closing at a reduced salary and bonus plan which gave me an opportunity to make back my salary or more. The closing of the operation completed on May 10, 2016 and I was transitioning in to my new roll by setting up a home office and making sales calls. I was called in to head office in Toronto today and terminated without cause. The settlement offered isn't close to what your calculator says I may be entitled to and they also severed me at the reduced salary which only started recently. I believe they set me up to close the division with no intention of keeping me on and used the job offer at a reduced rate to save severance costs. When I said they were being very dishonest in their dealings with me the HR girl said she was unaware of these circumstances and that I should counter offer without a lawyer. I am extremely distressed in their treatment of me after 10 years of unblemished service. It might be noted that we had a recent take over by another company. Your thoughts.
it seems like the company is conducting itself in extreme bad faith. Please contact us at the number below for a free consultation with a lawyer to discuss your legal entitlements at termination.
