Worse than being retrenched

Dear Mr. Tan, 
I was forced out by my ex-company(a listed local company) recently, without any form of compensation. I had been there for X years and the reason they gave was that the company has not planned for such exercise and even they do, they do not give it to ‘non-performing’ employee like me. While I did not agree to my ex-supervisor’s appraisal rating on me, I had no choice but to resign on my own or else my company will dismiss me!

Mr. Tan, do u think I have ground to approach MOM for help in seeking some form of remuneration package from my ex-company?

I suggest that you talk to Ministry of Manpower and get their advice. You can also talk to your Member of Parliament.
