What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
My wife recently accepted a job with the State Department working for the Foreign Service. Obviously, we're going to need to move. Since I am a manager, I approached to owner of my company with the news of my leaving letting him know first as a sign of respect. He immediately pointed out that I can do my job from anywhere in the world since I am a web designer and that he wanted me to keep doing my job as best I could. I then informed the General Manager of my news and of what the owner had said. The GM replied with his feeling that if that is what the owner wanted then that is probably what we would do but he did want to consult with some outside consultants. That was two weeks ago and not a word has been spoken. Then today I get an e-mail from the GM with a word doc attached with a checklist of things he wanted me to accomplish and then a note on the bottom of the letter saying that he was going to find a full-time employee to full my position. The owner of the company is currently in China and I feel had very little to do with this decision. The GM is a control freak and can't stand not being able to watch his employees work which is what I think motivated this decision. I know this is a long shot, but can I get a severance package? I sure do feel like I've been fired especially since we were counting on me having this position.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
