0:00 - Intro
2:23 Job offer rescinded by new employer
I was considering two job offers and ultimately decided to accept one, and declined the other. Before I was about to start, the job offer was withdrawn. I'm now in a difficult position. What are my options?
6:27 Severance for retail employee
I was terminated, effective immediately after 7.5 years in a retail sales position. I was only offered about 10 weeks in severance pay and benefits. Is this a good deal?

9:00 No severance in large layoff
I was working at the same manufacturing company for almost three years. Unfortunately, I was part of a large layoff due to restructuring and cuts. My employer informed us we will not receive severance as they are struggling financially. Is this legal?
12:33 Common myths about terminations
12:37 1️⃣ An employer can’t fire an employee unless it is for a legitimate reason.
14:12 2️⃣ Employees can be let go “for cause” due to mistakes or simple errors and will not receive any severance pay.

15:38 3️⃣ Employers only need to give someone the minimum amount of severance when they are terminated.
16:45 4️⃣ Employees on a “contract” are not entitled to severance pay if let go.
17:33 5️⃣ Short-service employees don’t have the same rights and severance entitlements as long-serving employees.
18:30 No formal employment agreement
I’ve been employed for over 3 months now in a new company. I was never given a formal employment contract or signed anything. Should I ask HR for an agreement to sign?
22:36 Forced to accept new job position
After 10 years of employment I’m being forced into a new role. If I don’t accept, I’ll likely be laid off. Co-workers in similar positions have been offered 22 weeks’ severance. What should I expect in a package?
25:25 Probation due to performance issues
After I failed to meet a project deadline, my manager suggested that I could be put on probation. Can you be placed on probation, years after you were initially hired?
26:38 Employer refuses medical accommodations
My doctor has given me restrictions and required accommodations for my return to work after my insurance company forced me off my long-term disability benefits. When I told my employer, he said they were unacceptable, and that I should consider other employment. Is this legal?
