Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

Verbal Agreement on Conditions of Employment at Hire

A few years ago I was recruited into my present company. At the time there were certain contions that was verbally given to me in order for me to make the move. These contions were met. Also written in my yearly evalution was to continue with these job duties. Included in my evaluation was a recommendation to evaluate me for further advancement. Under new managemet, I was informed within 4 months that my job had changed. Many of my former duties were taken away from me. I was never given the opportunity for advancement. No mid-year perforance was given. Within 7 months I was told to look for another job. I am over 40 years old. Would this be considered age discrimination or breach of contract or both. Please advise - Thank you

Without actual proof of the discrimination, i.e. a pattern showing such practices at the corporation or someone who can verify your situation, it will be a tough claim upon which to proceed. A business can certainly change, and with it duties and positions change. Without more on your part, it is hard to see whether you have a claim.
