I think the CEO firing you meant that he wasn't bluffing.

He first lade a threat. Then I called his bluff and then he pushed through.

In that way I got my full year off.

The stupid thing was that I was fired for reading a newspaper. I didn't take it up to court because I knew I was getting a full years pay if they fired me that way.

How do you get a full-year's pay after getting fired?

[โ€“] Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Contractual and lawful reasons.

You can't be fired without proper cause so when they fire you without proper cause the wil have to keep you on board for a while or choose to pay you out for that amount of time. I was sort of a foreman with a teal of about 20 technicians and I also had to work directly with our customers. They deemed me a liability because I was fired so they chose to pay out.

Same with salesmen. When you fire them without proper cause they want you out of their network as soon as possible and won't take the risk of letting you work with costumers anymore so they just pay out the amount of time that is needed.

In Canada. If I get canned my severance is 1.5 years salary. (Based on length of emplyment.) It's even better in Europe. It's what happens when a country doesn't flipflop between two right wing parties and actually has a party focused on the working class.
