Last year I had an altercation with one of the security ladies because she made advances and I wasn't interested, after an assault taking place she decided it was her thing to get me fired, which never came to fruition for her. This year her and her cronies would made it personal to get me fired. They confronted me everyday, made stories to management and false complaints. I had other employees telling me they were trying to get me fired, everyone in this place of work loved me, I was great with the families and kids, but when they couldn't find anything legitimate to pin on me they had to make sexual harrasment complaints which ended up getting me fired, the management was just the system they used, their can't be any proof because I ignored anyone who I didn't already know, now I'm broke because I spent every dollar coming up from toronto to pay rent to be up here for christmas, instead of relocating me, my boss just left me here in north bay without any money to get back home or otherwise. And he still uses my pictures for his advertising signs, what do I do?

I was fired yesterday with no reason, told I was NOT a fit for there company,after a couple days employed I was approched with ass. manager position and gladly accepted, a week or so later I was hospitilazed with a abnormal pregnancy that had to be terminated , so upon returning I spoke with the owner on my status of promotion , and the fact that we had no proper breaks and clock off by manager while we had to stay behind and clean the salon , the very next day i was fired

I received 2-3 hours of training on the very first day and was then left to muddle thru the day. From that day forward I received no further training, I seemed to make my own decisions based in common sense. I was yelled at by the assistant manager in front of other employees for making the wrong choices. That day I didapologize for my mistakes. However the employees that witnessed the incident confronted the asst manager and told him that it was very unprofessional to desipline me in front of them. because I was making my own choices for over a month and receiving random feedback from management and other employees in how to do the job. I did ask the asst manager what is the proper procedure and was told there wasn't a procedure in place. In one situation I was told to do one thing and then in a similar incedient I was told to do a totally different thing. After 5 weeks of self training , and learning thru trial and error I was still muddling thru when I was called into the office by both the asst manager and the manager and told that I'm causing too much confusion and trouble, costing the company money and they were letting me go. Is this a wrongfully dismissal bichirs I was never trained or am I just over reacting? During this 5 week period, I made arrangements to move into the area and even changed schools for both my kids.

I work in an inside sales position for an independent pharmaceutical company. i have been there for just over 6 months. A couple weeks ago the owner (who is a tyrant) told me that they are extending my probation by 3 more months to which i did not consent to. I was making sales and working outside my regular working hours and trending as I should have been. Today (One week before Christmas)they told me that I was not suitable for the job and that they are terminating me immediately because they don't think I'm "suitable" for the job. I am owed commission as they pay quarterly and not 100% sure I will receive it. I had a lot of sales on the go and now I will not see any reward for my efforts. I was also told by the owner that instead of enjoying my evenings and weekends I should be more focused on my job. WHAT? I am a sales professional and this is how I was treated as many others have been in the past being employed here. Do I have a case for wrongful dismissal and can this company be audited by the ministry of labour for mistreating their employees?

I went into work today and was let go with out any notice at all. The Doctor already had someone else come to the office to take my place which had full training. I was not aware of this action being taken I assume everything was fine. I started this job Oct 20/2014 please advise
