Imagine this: Your manager calls the team into a meeting and requests that everyone accept a pay cut. You're stunned. Some co-workers nod and agree without complaining. But you're left wondering: What now?
It's a frustrating situation: your boss excitedly informs everyone that the team is getting long-overdue raises—then nothing happens. It's been six months now and you're still waiting while your paycheck still says the same thing. What do you do when a raise is all talk?
So, you were fired? Yes, it sucks, but it happens to almost everyone at least once in their lives. The important part is getting what you are owed on your way out—namely your final paycheck.
