► 4:30 A caller from https://stlawyers.ca/employment-law-show - I was due to return to work from my maternity leave next week. However, I was called in for a meeting last week about the expansion of company. This meeting turned out to be my termination meeting, where I learned that my temporary fill-in is now in my role full time. I was fired without cause. I worked there for 16 years.
