1. You meet your friend Miriam, for lunch and she is upset. A new buyer has purchased her company and Miriam was just told by her supervisor that she is being terminated without cause. Miriam is a junior designer has been with the company for 3 years. She tells you that the company is offering her 6 weeks of pay as severance, and that her supervisor told him that this offer is quite generous. She wants to call a lawyer and sue the Company as she tells you, I am a good employee. I am the most productive on my team and I follow all the rules. This is so unfair.

She asks you for your advice, knowing that you understand Employment Law better than she does. Should Miriam accept the Companys offer or should she retain a lawyer to sue the Company? Explain the pros and cons of each option fully in making your clear recommendation.
