I have been at my job for just under a year now. There is always drama, disrespect and harrassment between employees and employers which makes it a stressful environment.

Was just told it's not working out and I think it's all to do with a wsib claim

I was let go from my employer because me and my supervisor had an argument during overtime. As to not further enflair the situation I said to her that due to the fact that overtime is optional I do not have to take this and went home (I may or may not have called her a bitch). The next day I followed procedure and spoke to management about the conflict and told them about the increasingly hostile work environment. They sent me home with pay so that they could sort out the mess. Later that day they informed me that they were parting ways with me as I stated in my argument before I left that I said that I quit on my way out the door. This was not the case. On my ROE they stated that the reason I left was "other". Is this a case of wrongful dismissal
