In a message dated 98-10-20 07:11:45 EDT, you write:
<< Do you think I have legal recourse if I don't receive my severance?
Is this a clear case of defamation of character? >>
I'm not sure about whether legal recourse is the answer, but while you are
making up your mind, you should sit down and write and date a detailed account
of everything that has happened while it is still fresh in your mind. If you
do decide to contact a lawyer you will have as complete an account of what has
happened as possible.
