2:25 Seniority after company sold
I worked at a small retail company for over 12 years. It was sold to a new owner and I was kept on. After 3 years, I'm now being let go but only given 3 weeks severance pay. Is this right?

6:38 Severance including phone & vehicle
After 10 years my spouse was laid off. During his employment, his phone was paid for and he also had a company vehicle. He’s been offered a severance package but I’m not sure if it’s adequate.

I worked at a marketing agency for 2 years before I was let go with 2 weeks’ pay.

Is this a wrongful dismissal?
