0:00 - Intro
2:24 Let go due to discriminatory reasons
I believe I was let go from my job due to my age. Over the years I've heard passing comments about my age, and I'm one of the oldest in my department. There was no legitimate reason given for my termination. What can I do?
6:45 Let go due to lack of profits
I worked for the same company for about 7 years in multiple divisions. I was eventually let go as my department was not making a profit. I was offered 6 weeks of severance. I’m 52 years old and in management.

I worked for 3 years on modified duties before my doctor advised me to take a leave. While on sick leave I was let go and told it was due to performance issues. My doctor had ordered some accommodations, but my employer did not permit it.
12:43 Entitlements when labelled a contractor
I worked exclusively for a construction company as a project coordinator for 7 years. I was told there was not enough work and was let go. I’m unsure if I’m owed anything as I was told I’m a contractor.
