I am an African-American female, age 53 and I was laid off today from the 10th largest bank in the midwest. They stated it was because of a reorganization but my position was given to a white male.
I believe I was let go because I told my manager that I wanted to retire in 6 years.
My severance package was for 12 weeks pay. Should I have an attorney review my severance package before I sign it? Are they allowed to say they are eliminating my position but it is clear they gave it to someone else? I have no performance issues, many success stories with my department. It is the only department that has succeeded while the others are failing.
