I just got fired from my job because they are over staffed for no reason

I am currently given a contract amendment that says "I will be entitled for x percentage oof commissions on business I manage", whereas my original contact says "I am entitled for commissions on all new sales". When I refused to sign the contract, the HR and my Manager angrily said that I need to sign this amendment since the company can change rules the way they want to. I asked about clear definition of "Areas of business I manage", and they said they don't have an answer. What should i do?

I was let go by the Canadian Mental Health Association on Tues June2/16. A cleaner by trade for two years I had to deal with the darkest most sadistic methodical manager I have ever encountered, ever. My employer is officially called Impact Junk Solutions( social enterprise) a so called contractor for CMHA but is has always been controlled by CMHA, payroll the works all behind a wall of secrecy. For two years I was bated, harassed, tormented and just toyed with by this guy. He answers to no one, nothing! I could not get another job at 60 it was real bad. Took Huron and Adelaide cleaning contract working alone for 5hr per night. Previously done by 2 guys 3hrs each per night. On May 16 called to meeting and again they cut my hrs to 4hrs per night!!! 20/wk. Then on June2/16 manager tells me you have to fit more work into your shift cleaning up after cleaners who cover for me when off. I blew my stack told him what i thought of the SOB! well of course CMHA HR lady fired me on the same day at beginning of my shift. I sucked it up walked out, pissed off is an understatement. Was given 3weeks pay they seemed not to miss a trick and cut me loose. How this crap about me being a contractor while being under complete control of CMHA, but they stayed hands off with respect to my manager. It was all bad lasted as long as I could. Yes you are going to tell what was the smart thing to do at the time with no options I just didn't give a damn anymore.

I worked for a company for 14 years as a sales manager. My manager continuously belittled me and continuosly told me that I was not performing even though I was on ppaper. My manager told me that he would put me on a performance plan. I explained that this was not right. He then agreed that he would notut me on a plan. Instead two weeks later he told me that there will be a company reorganization adn I am no longer required. IS this reasonable ground to dismiss me? Can I file for my job back even though I am a manager?
