I am retiring August 1st. They are trying very hard to fire me/make quit sooner so they don't have to pay my pension. Can I go on stress leave now until retirement. Banking industry. TD bank.

I was employed as an Assistant Manager for Storage company. On friday they let me go. I was told it was theft of money, However, I did not steal the money, I forgot about it. What happened was there was a client that came to empty their storage because we could not deliver it for her. She had to pay the amount owing. She paid in cash. The system we used was very slow so I made a manual receipt. Upon hearing of her displeasure with our service, I lessened her rental amount (as I have authority to do). She was owed $90 and a new receipt. I was very busy in the office that I forgot about it. My intention was to give her the new receipt and change with an explanation and hopefully she would use us again/refer us/leave a review. Close to the end of my shift it was brought to my attention a storage container for delivery next day could not be found and I went into our warehouse to do a physical search. This is very stressful and time consuming. I was to be home with dinner for my wife and 2 kids but was running really behind because of this search. I had the change in my pocket and intended to print the receipt and contact Ms. Jackson the next day. Upon arrival the next morning, my email was removed by the admin and the owner and managers approached me about this. I let them know and they told me right away it was theft and I could not work there anymore. I told them it may seem like theft but I forgot and intense to complete the transaction with the client today. They insisted on theft. I gave 5 years of my life to this company and ran the entire division. I have never thought of theft from this company at all! I was the one that would cover for any other employee that could not show up. Even drive to do the deliveries when that is not my position) numerous times. I train all personnel and H&S certified. This is a complete shock to me. They are saying I admitted to the theft which I did not.

I have been employed with the same company for almost 6 years. For almost 5 years I've worked the same shifts each week. A new operator took over the franchise the end of August 2016. Since then I have been told I am dumber and weaker because I am a woman. I am the only female employee. He has told me he doesn't not care about anything I say to him yet yells at me if I don't tell him something. He constantly givea me dirty looks and pushes past me. He posted a notice on Friday that he is going to change the schedule. He knows I work another job after this one. I've worked it so long that everything is planned around those shifts. I just know he's going to take my shifts from me. He's posting the new schedule Thursday and I know when I tell him I can't work thexperience shifts he's given me that he won't care. He'll just tell me to quit. I can't just quit but I can't be in 2 places at once! What am I supposed to do?
