Employees are not always terminated because of bad performance or personal misconduct. In some cases, employees are let go because their company has been acquired by another company.

When this occurs, fired employees are often upset that they lost their job for no good reason. To protect themselves, employees should attempt to negotiate termination agreements. These agreements give employees pay, benefits, and other provisions if they lose their job because of a merger or buyout.
