I recently told my supervisor that I have ADHD and from there he started scheduling me one day a week right now I work one day this week and next week I'm scheduled to work one day

I was working for an employer for 5 years and one day was dismissed without any warning or prior notification. I I was no given any package or compensation other than what the labor law entitles me. This happened about six months ago in June 2015. I need to know can we do anything about it and is t not that late to go to the court.

I was terminated from a job where I had never had any formal discipline. I have an anxiety disorder, which they showed no compassion for. I was fealty I'll at work one day, asked for early lunch and was allowed. Fell asleep in my vehicle parked off company property where 50 other employees also Park. Slept a half hr past my lunch. Some Co workers went to look for me. I have since heard that a coworker accused me of being on drugs. One of these coworkers told a friend they looked for me cause they thought I overdosed. If that is true why when they found me, did they not attempt to wake me up. They left me there until I woke on my own. I was sent home and terminated because they said my attendance was unacceptable. I have never been disciplined for attendance issues before.

Hi, I was working a couple of years ago as a very senior leader (I am 30 years experienced, in my 50s) in a company when I was approached by another firm to join them. I joined the new firm a little over a year ago, and find this year that the firm has restructured and my job has changed. I did not receive any increase this past year and was told that my performance was fine but it was due to company numbers. The company is doing well but has an aggressive grown plan to double revenue in the next 5 years (its a multi-billion company). There are new pressures to increase our personal billings which were not there when I joined. I am worried that I am being pushed to leave in some ways. But then they seem to want to keep me but don't know where I fit. They also took a conscious decision to cut 10% of the leaders at my level this year. I was told that these cuts have now been complete and that it doesn't affect me, however, I still feel they are trying to reduce their overall payroll burden. Should I do anything? Should I formalize my concerns with HR? I am worried that it might make it worse? I am looking casually for a new role, should I be more proactive?

I was terminated without notice or documentation. They withheld my record of employment for almost 30 days. And now that it has finally been submitted. It says I quit my position which is not true and inaccurate. I also moved from a city I lived in for 8 years for this position and I was dismissed 9 months later. As a store manager I improved all audit scores and surpassed my rolling 52 week goals by 150,000. I was a model employee. What are my rights.
