Colorado Wrongful Termination questions and answers

• I was recently let go from my job after 9 years without notice, bad review, or pip.

  Asked in Parker, CO | August 16, 2026

  I was terminated the day before my nine-year anniversary, with my employer stating I no longer had the skill set required for my position. I am a woman over 50. I started as the organization’s only creative/marketing employee and built its Marketing & Communications department and internal media studio. I had never received a negative review, warning, or PIP. In April, my supervisor requested more creative strategy but did not provide clear expectations or measures of success. An outside consultant was hired, and approximately 4 months later I was terminated without seeing the findings or being given an opportunity to improve. I also recently completed what was presented as an anonymous survey about my supervisor, stating that I felt expectations were unclear. Afterward, meetings with her were canceled, and I was terminated a few weeks later. I received six months’ severance and benefits. I would like to know whether these circumstances warrant review for possible age/sex discrimination and/or retaliation.
