After two years with the same company, I was terminated Friday afternoon August 5, 2016 with no verbal or written explanation.
I have never been given a review or any kind of notice letting me know I've done something wrong or I require improvement. Doesn't an employer have to sit with me and discuss what I have done wrong and my need for improvement on at least 3 occassions 3 months apart including a signed letter by both parties indicating that both parties understand what was discussed and another meeting will happen within a 3 month period to discuss my improvement or failure to comply... I'm pretty sure someone should have said something to me so I could fix the situation, right?
Ultimately, if you are an non-unionized employee, an employer does have the right to your employment "without cause", i.e. for no particular reason, provided that the reason is not discriminatory in any way, and provided that you are paid the appropriate severance.
