Great, it seems like this could be a valuable case to explore further with a local attorney. Would you like to be connected to local lawyers who can better assist you with your case? If so, could you please provide a bit more information about the issue?
My role as Director, Business Intelligence was eliminated last week. The organization conducted a Reduction in Force of some sort which impacted a variety of individuals across multiple departments. The company offered the equivalent of one month of salary as severance. Given the executive level of the position, length of tenure, geographic location of the company and solid performance reviews, this does not seem sufficient.
