Hello, I work with a small private company based out of Detroit, MI- I am in Orlando Fl. I am in sales. I was informed a few weeks ago that I may be let go at the end of the month b/c my territory wasn't as profitable as they had hoped. I have nothing in writing or formal plan in place. My manager won't answer emails I've sent. I did send an email out that it has been 2 weeks since he has spoken to me since the conversation came up about the possibility of being let go and I had hoped he would have reached out to me to implement a plan of action. Since I live in a state that does not require much to let employees go- what rights do I have?
