Where the 'pretext' of the termination is financial, in the absence of an employment agreement or a violation of a constitutionally protected class(e.g., sex, age, etc.), it is likely that you will not have a case as against the employe. However, that does not preclude your possibly getting a better severance package. As you have obviously, for privacy purposes, not disclosed the details, it would be to your benefit to consult with qualified counsel.
