Hello, 3 yrs ago I was terminated. Less than a year prior to that I was offered a job at a different company. My current employer made me an offer to stay that I could not refuse. I was repeatedly told how impressed they were with my writing and negotiation skills. In this line of work, it was a high stress, confrontational, and many times harrassment toward me for doing my job correctly and within the confines of the law. Within the sector I worked in, the union was quite dishonest and made things up, which I believe contributed to the reason for termination. At the time, I was told I was "a fall guy". This significantly affected my mental health. I signed off on an agreement and received 6 months salary continuance just to make it go away, so I could move on. I likely should not have. Do I have any recourse at this time?
