I held a AA job for marketing firm for 2 months. I was abruptly laid off on a Friday with a simple "were are going in a different direction." I had access to personal calendars and saw a summer intern was starting the following Monday. Is it illegal to lay off existing employees to bring on (free) summer interns. The internship is supposed to benefit the intern, not the company. Was their practice illegal? Who can I tell? How do I get proof?
