I live in Illinois. My position was recently eliminated. I worked for the co for a number of years after being promoted 3 times ending in a salaried management position. I consistantly was required to work 50 hrs per week. I was called into the bosses office and told it was my last day. I was given 6 weeks severance pay and the balance of my vacation pay. As department manager I was concerned about my team. They are still there 3 month later and now reporting to my old boss. I had more seniority than anyone else in the dept and was the only female manger in the facility. I was made manager when the old manager ( a man) was fired. He was hourly and never worked any overtime but was making more than me and was given 6 month severance. I had asked for more severance because I had just returned from major surgery and was still using a cane to walk.
I think I got a bad deal on so many different levels. But, is there anything they did that is illegal?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
