Hello There, Can someone help me out please. I worked for company A-for less than a year -28 years ago-the manager -AA Manager AA closed his own company and started working for Company C as project manager. Then I went to work for company-B for 8 years-25 years ago-this company is still in business. Last month Company B-got few projects from company C. Company B awarded me couple of projects recently. This afternoon during the review between B and C for some other projects where I was invited to listen but not participate. Company B mentioned to Company C manager AA that I am working on a couple of projects- Company B asked Company C manager AA if he knew me-to which he said he knew and made a VERY BAD REMARK about me not making it with other companies. I now have a feeling he might ask Company B to cancel me out. I have the PO and have been working on these projects for almost a month now. What are my options for filing a wrong reference case? Please let me know. Thank you, Joseph 647-290-4516 At present I am working freelance-

I just got dismissed after working for my employer for 11 months. The job was initially 23 hrs per week at $12 pee hour but hired me $17 per hour and 35 per week as per my experience and request to work full time only. I was given a review after 3 months all was good. 8 weeks ago I was called by the owner who claimed he was so pleased with my work that he gave me a raise. Two weeks ago I had my job advertised upon questioning this I was told it was just to cover me if I wanted a vacation. I has been victimized by agressive and controlling office manager at the head office who permantly was rude, yelled at me. I always complied with manners and professionalism. Now I have been dismissed. How do I stand on unfair dismissal

We have been told that if you work in the construction field, that you are not entitled to any severance. I have been with my company for 29 years, I am almost 61,we are in the construction field, working mostly for the oil company's. Lately it seems that the company is pushing the senior guys out. Leaving some to sit at home for months claiming that there is not enough work, until they have to quit. It hasn't happened to me yet but my turn may be coming soon.

I was given a warning for some chat exchanges with colleagues about other people's work ethic. There were no mention of names. After a little less than a month, I was terminated. The letter indicates that my contract is terminated with a 2 weeks' pay. Was I wrongfully dismissed?

Hi there, I was recently let go from my current job without cause. I asked for specific reasons and HR only said that they have made a business decision and are making some Org changes. This happened only after 8.5 months of me joining the company. They have offered 2 months salary as severance and have asked to sign back on the package offered. However I am not sure if this is a reasonable amount and If I should sign and accept the offer. Any advice would be useful.
