Question for you all. I was let go from my company for processing policy changes that led to me receiving extra pay...issue is I was not aware until termination day I was even receiving the pay unethically and no training or corrective plan was offered before this situation became known. I lost my job, 250k bonus retirement and confidence in how this company operates. Did I get screwed over?
