I have been on long-term disability for over 30 years. If my employer files for bankruptcy, how does that affect me?

If an employer fires me for taking a week off for vacation on a date which the employer doesn't agree to, do they owe me severance if they claim it was for cause? (Employed with same employer for 10 years.)

In the event I quit a job in Calgary and leave that employer. Then I apply to another job with a different employer, is the previous employer legally allowed to bad mouth me to my next potential employer?

My employment contract states 20 hours per week of work and doesn't specify any specific shift times. I've been working 12pm-4pm Mon-Fri for several years. Can my employer force me to start taking an unpaid 30minute break, effectively keeping me on the job until 4:30pm? Or can they change my shift to 1pm-5pm? Would I be entitled to severance if I don't agree to either of these changes? Thank you.

I work for a company who is i the process of closing. My last day is the 29th of November and my hours were full time as per my contract and for the last month went down to part time. The severance that I receive will it be full time as per my signed contract or go down to part time hours because that is what I have been doing for the past month
