About Removed from Position by Company without Documentation

Removed from Position by Company without Documentation?
I was an operations manager with a company and was removed from the position with the reason that I lack inter-personal skills, as well as that I had been at the same location for too long. I had good annual reviews up until this point. There was no documentation stating that I was not performing to expectations, nor was I given an opportunity to perform at the expectation level. My pay was decreased to the level it was at prior to my promotion to Operations Manager. I was then assigned to work with the current weekend shift supervisor, which I did. I was then assigned to go to Fort Wayne, IN to help with another account. I have done this for 8 weeks. I am now being told that if I do not accept a supervisor position at another of our sites, then my employment will be ended with the company. I would receive 9 weeks of severance pay (one week for every year of service). Do I have a case for wrongful termination in the state of IL or should I just take the severance and run?

Answer 1 :
Better consult a lawyer then. From what u said, it seems like the management has something personal against you and really go to measures to get you. Sorry to hear that u actually wasted 9 years of your effort with this company.
Answer 2 :
If you're a white male, you probably don't have a case

About Not getting paid overtime, hours "rolling over" to next check

Not getting paid overtime, hours "rolling over" to next check.?
I work at a Dairy Queen in Fort Wayne. We get paid bi-weekly, and this pay period I have exceeded 80 hours. I worked around 36 week one, and about 50 week two. I was told that my hours will just "roll-over" to the next paycheck to avoid being paid overtime pay. This isn't many hours, and I know if I complain to management about this I will more than likely lose my job. I have been documenting all of my hours, I am not really sure what to do next. Any advice on what I should do now would be very helpful.

Answer 1 :
Look up your state's wage & hours commission/department. You should be able to file a complaint with the state if this is in fact illegal. I suspect it is but I do not know the details of Indiana's laws. You might also try speaking to someone one level up from management (do you have a district or regional manager?) or if your company has a hotline to report sexual harassment, employee theft, etc. you could give that a try.
Answer 2 :
No, it's not legal. Your call - report it to the dept of labor and get the OT pay, but you're right you'd probably lose your job.
Answer 3 :
first, you need to make sure you know what the work-week is and how it relates to the pay-periods,,,,, then, overtime is based on the work-week (as defined by the employer), and it MUST be paid..... so, if you are sure that you have overtime in a work-week and are not paid for it ask management to correct this, and if they don't file a wage claim with the state at: http://www.in.gov/dol/2734.htm or just live with the abuse

thats why your going to college. without at least a college diploma you'll be dealing with asshole customers for the rest of your life
Answer 2 :
There's really no such thing. Unless you want to go do some factory work.
Answer 3 :
Why would any employer hire someone who is anti-social? You need to work on your "dealing with people" or you will end up unemployed and homeless
Answer 4 :
try your school's library, book stores that don't sell coffee, and irs data entry clerk,any computer programming gig, the post office,
Answer 5 :
Try clerical jobs
