I asked my boss to take a tenant to the hospital as he was in pain and could not afford an ambulance. My boss said no and I asked for personal time and he said ok. Tenant heard conversation. I was fired as a result of taking him in my own vehicle on my break time. I have been here 6 years.

My Fiance was recently forced to quit her job. She was a Recruitment Manager who would hire a sales team and any other employees for a relatively small marketing firm. one day out of the blue she was told she would no longer be hiring people but she would have to take a $10,000 pay cut and be working the sales position. She worked the new position for a few days but found it to be hard as she hired all the people that were now training her. And with remarks from her boss "suck it up your bringing everyone's mood down" she decided it was time to go. she has been working there less than a year. Is this grounds for a Constructive Dismissal? is there anything she can do while looking for new employment? can she collect any severance?

I was fired from a call center job after working for the company for 4 years. There was no warning, I had one bad call and was walked into an office two days later and was fired. I have been given 3 weeks severance, but feel the dismissal was unfair. Are they legally permitted to fire somebody without warning?

I worked in the medical marijuana industry. I was a part time worker but always worked 40 hours a week. I was told i was getting a raise after 3 months but it never happened. In fact over the 14 month period, staff with less seniority were given full-time status and raises with benefits and i was not. When i questioned this, i was put on a new shift with my hours cut down to thirty a week. I was never late, never took time off or had a vacation. They said i was a good worker. Management let me go because they said we were not making money? but hired more staff and promoted staff with less seniority to do my job. Its basically management looking after their friends.Were are not unionized. Your thoughts?
