I’m a 47 yr. old female with two young girls. I am going through a divorce and my work has been very stressful of late. My Department is being reduced and my position my be eliminated in the near future. Can I lose my job if I am off work on stress leave. Doctor’s orders.

got a job offer through a consultant but not signed, now i am not in a situation to accept the offer.consultant is threatening that i am liable to the employer company who offered job

I was presented a contract that involved a huge reduction in base salary along with a sales target that is unobtainable. I asked to negotiate and was responded to with "the resort cannot afford to sustain your existing remuneration" basically take it or leave it. I could not accept this decrease and was issued an ROE stating I quit. Do I have anything coming to me after 2 1/2 years of employment

I was told December 31st 2017 that I was getting a warning for a certain social media post with a comment towards the company. Therefore managers told me I was off on warning and I was okay. Then January 3rd I called my manager to confirm my scheduale because my online one wasn’t working and she confirmed me for working January 4th and 6th. No issues she didn’t say anything, I go in the next day ready for work with no ride home until 7 pm and they call me upstairs to tell me I’m being terminated on probation but didn’t state any reason. Considering my employer/owner didn’t sign my incident report where it clesrly states “ employer signature” my manager signed it when the paper isn’t asking for a manager signature? Are they allowed to give someone false hope about their job? And lead them on the night before and then randomly call them up and just fire them? Without stating reason? And without being signed infront of me by my employer? Also I find it very unprofessional how I was a hard worker being dismissed and my employer/ store owner couldn’t even make himself present in the room.

I had nervous breakdown and my employment was terminated.
