I was the Food & Beverage Director / Chef for a 165-room hotel in Maryland in the mid nineties. The owner sold the hotel, and the new owners realized it would be rather expensive to bring the kitchen up to code. We had a transistion meeting, where, among other items, the new owners emphasized how they liked their meals prepared when they ate in the restaurant. They then turned to our catering director and asked her for a copy of all future catering events, and to formulate a plan to have an outside caterer deliver food for these events. I asked them when they planned to let me go, and they said they we would discuss my status with the company 'in the near future'. I requested that if they planned to terminate my employment to do so immediately, so I could say goodbye to my staff and everyone could move on. They refused to do so, but when I returned home that evening, there was a message on my answering maching from the new General Manager saying they eliminated my position.
