Hello. I've been working for US-based tech company for just over a year. All has been going quite well. I'm a Pre-sales Systems Engineer and have been supporting several Account Executives in Canada and the US (mainly Canada though).
There was a recent change of upper management and along with that came a 're-classification' of the SE role. It is now considered a combined role between the SE and what used to be internal-only 'Systems Architects'. This new role requires much more access to internal system, additional training etc, very little of which was given (including a lack of procedural documentation).
Up until now, the account reps I support have been very happy with the job I've been doing as we have closed many accounts together (including the building of a sales pipeline in Canada that went from literally nothing to almst $4M).
To my utter shock I had a video conference call with my manager and his director and was told that I apparently don't have the techincal skills to continue working for them and that the CEO feels that my 'brand' is not what the company needs moving forward. This was all done without consulting any of the sales reps I support (which totally shocked and upset them).
Sorry for the long description but my question is this: What do you feel I should be entitled to as far as either severance or even a possible wrongful dismissal lawsuit?
Thanks in advance.
