"According to the regulations, the one-month pay in lieu of notice should be paid to me. But I am not at fault, and the company is terminating the employment contract without cause, so they should compensate me with N months of severance pay, a total of N plus one. I have worked here for five years, so I should be given six months of compensation."
Seeing that I was not as easily manipulated as the others, the HR representative forced a fake smile.
"Ms. Ashley Gomez, look, our company isn't huge. Downsizing to increase efficiency is in the company's best interest. It would be best if you understood that.
"Besides, this is company policy, and all the other employees have accepted this compensation. You can't be an exception..."
I understood my foot!
I looked at her hypocritical face. "Company policy cannot override national law. I repeat, please provide written notice and compensate me in accordance with labor law."
"You're really asking for the moon! "
Billy stormed in, his tone hostile.
I calmly replied, "According to labor law, this is what I deserve."
He sat down on the sofa, crossing his legs arrogantly, looking like a typical hooligan.
