What is the name of your state? Mississippi
I worked for a company with less then 50 employees for 1 year and 3 months in the Information Technology department as the entire department. I asked for help for more then a year and finally, while on a weeks vacation for medical reasons, the company hired an assistant. I had no input and was not involved in any way in the hiring process. Once hired, I was told to train my new assistant till he could maintain the network and associated applications. After three weeks of training, they "let me go" due to down sizing. I was 1/3 vested in 100,000 shares of stock in this private company. Upon termination they offered no compensation for my 1/3 vested stocks which were part of my initial offer letter. I feel the stock was earned much like vacation and they should not be allowd to simply "keep it". What can I do, if anything?
