Notes job lossQuoting from a decision by the Supreme Court of Canada:
"A person's employment is an essential component of his or her sense of identity, self-worth, and emotional well-being. Accordingly, any change in a person's employment status is bound to have far-reaching repercussions. The point at which the employment relationship ruptures is the time when the employee is most vulnerable, and hence most in need of protection. When termination is accompanied by acts of bad faith in the manner of the discharge, the results can be especially devastating." (p. 164)
