I have been working for National Wireless for 2.5 years (a bell branded dealer) and have been hearing through other staff members that work in the back room that the company is trying to off board 3 staff from our location and my name has been brought up. I find it strange that my manager, despite needing to get rid of staff is interviewing potential new hires. I am trying to figure out my rights and what I deserve as severance if they do let me go. I have been a good employee and have recently been exceeding my sales goals yet still get picked on by management for not working hard enough. I deal with angry belligerent customers on a daily basis and handle it to the best of my ability yet still always get in trouble for one thing or another. The manager speaks poorly of me to my co workers behind my back yet tells me she always has my back. I am really not sure as to what to do about this situation. I feel like my stress and anxiety have increased drastically at this job in the past year. Not only are we expected to do more and more but they're also now cutting our commission payouts in half due to the increase in minimum wage. My manager as expressed that we are to milk every customer for every dollar that we can where as I have the approach of selling based on the customer needs. By doing what I believe is fair and right, I get told im not selling enough. Please help!

Thank you for your question. I would encourage you to give us a call at the number below to discuss your situation with one of our lawyers. We can provide direction regarding how to protect yourself in your situation, as well as explain what options you would have in the event that the company lets you go. As a federally-regulated employee (Bell is a federally regulated company), you do have some protection in the event that you are fired without good reason. You would also likely be owed severance based on your age, sales position and 2.5 years of service. Give us a call at the number below. We would be happy to assist in any way we can.
