I am being forced from my Store Manager position with no poor preformance documentation. I also received my yearly review with a rating that allowed a pay increase. I am unsure what my rights are with-in this circumstance. Due to a significant pay decrease, I will have to end my employment with this company. All of my questions to my bosses have been answered in a vauge skirting the issue way.
