Hello.

I of course don't know the specific details of your employment and lay off, but this is a common scenario where the employer might try to hide the real and possibly illegal reason for firing as a lay-off. Do you have reasons to believe that the reason you were fired and replace was because of your age? Disability? Ethnic origin? Gender? Complaining about workplace violations of any kind?

Thanks, and feel free to follow up.
