I was recently terminated after raising concerns to my career advisor about a decline in my workload and not being able to meet the yearly billable hours quota. My boss and HR called later that same day and cited performance issues, but many of these were due to a lack of training and exposure to certain tasks. I was also told that managers were hesitant to assign me work, yet I was not given a fair opportunity to improve. The call ended with HR saying that we would have a follow up call in 4 weeks and if there was no improvement then they will be considering seperaration. After this conversation took place, a manager I've never worked with before began to review my work and criticized my work harshly. However, i have positive reviews from a different manager that i have been working with months before and leading up to termination. I was targeted and i believe my termination may have been retaliatory or unjust, and I would like to explore my legal options. Not sure if this warrants legal counsel (if it doesn't, I apologize for the inconvenience). I was offered a small Severance and have 14 days after termination to sign. My termination was on January 23, 2025. Also, the initial HR call was on November 26, and the "follow-up call"/termination happened two months later, rather than the 4 weeks.
More context: I was with the firm for 2 years. I worked at a New York location for the most of this time, then transferred to a CT location in August 2024. The first day of my transfer to the new location and team was also the first day I begin my role as a Senior. (I had just gotten promoted). HR said that I wasn't meeting the standard of a Senior Associate, however i was only in the role for 5 months and was already experiencing a decrease in workload.
