2:53 Severance if new job position rescinded
I had worked in a marketing position for a few years and accepted a new job at a different company. A few days before I was supposed to start my new position I was told there was no longer a position available. What can I do now that I've quit my previous position?

7:09 Banker fired while on long-term disability
I was fired from my bank job while transitioning from short-term to long-term disability benefits. They told me that my position was no longer available. I was offered 12 weeks’ pay that would stop once I found a new job. What are my rights?

10:05 Employers adds to employee's workload
Last month my employer unexpectedly added a heap of new duties to my job that nearly doubles my workload. I told my manager that while I can handle the added tasks temporarily, it can’t be a permanent change. I believe I will soon be let go because of my complaint. Can I stop that from happening?

What does it mean when an employer includes “subject to change’ in an employment agreement? Does this phrase allow a company to make changes whenever they want?

24:15 Who pays severance when company sold?
The company has been sold to a new owner. It’s still unclear whether we will all be let go. If I do lose my job, who pays severance: the old employer or the new one?

26:50 Supervisor complains about older employee productivity
I’m a 62-year-old field technician with 23 years at the same company. My new supervisor has been increasingly complaining about my quickness and efficiency. I believe his dislike towards me has led to a dramatic reduction in my shifts. What can I do?
