Re: Laid off even with good record
Hello.
If you are an at will employee, you can be terminated for any reason or no reason as long as it's not an unlawful reason such as discrimination and/or retaliation.
Since you have been working in the company for 21 years, chances are that the company has terminated you for an improper reason (age discrimination is one common claim that long time employees have), but more facts are necessary to establish this.
If you would like to discuss this further, feel free to follow up.
