Worked for them since July 2007 and up until about March/April, was working 40 hour weeks. As you know, retail took a huge hit, so my hours were cut, and thencut to almost nothing, until my manager told me there wasn't going to be much more work for awhile. The last time I actually worked a schedule there was inAugust. I kept receiving a discount up until last month's bill when I realized my benefit (single, one benefit) was cut. I just got hired at a new job, andused my manager as a reference, but never formally quit. My current job is only part time, so I told him that if hours were available, to call me cause I canwork afternoons. In the US, it is against the law to fire or lay off an employee without telling them either vocally in person or in a letter. I never receivedanything.
I'm going tomorrow to the HR dept to talk to them. I have been advised to be patient and tell them that I understand the law and my rights as an employee.Suing them is a possibility, but I would settle for a severance or something to that effect. I don't think they need any bad publicity. What should I do?
