I worked a salaried position for 5 months, never missed any time, and was terminated wrongfully, due to sub standard performance. I did not receive any severance. I was also taking company course for training, this also was stopped. It was required for employment. What are my options?

I was working as a kitchen designer with a base salary plus commission. I took a year off for maternity leave and when I returned to work, my employer informed me that the accounts I had been working on prior to maternity leave (one of which I actually brought to the company) were not being returned to me, and that he decided to keep my associates that covered my accounts during my leave, on said accounts permanently. He then proceeded to tell me I needed to start cold calling new accounts to bring in business for myself, because he did not need me sitting around "sucking up air". There had never been any complaints by my clients about my performance prior to me taking time off. My boss had always been verbally abusive to his employees, rude and does not treat anyone very well at all. I had the distinct impression he was trying to force me out so I ended up finding another job and quitting. Do I have a case for constructive dismissal? Can the Ministry of Labour help with this?

I was fired from my job when I started I signed a paper if you get three sticks a verbal a written notes and a spenshen they fired me with no reason

I was working for a long term care facility in Hamilton for 4 months when all of sudden i receieved an email from my boss with an immediate termination letter attached. I was shocked by it bevause i had no clue it was coming. I had never been called into the office nor reprimanded in any way for any wrong doing. I had called my boss to ask why i was being immediately terminated and she at first didnt want to say but then in the same breath told me it was because i didnt fit in. Im wondering if i could get any direction and advice on what my rights are and if its worth proceeding further with this.
