Add Comment Question: hello, i am a tradesperson and i went to school for 8 weeks. I was laid off of work as per usual for this time period. upon my 8 week school completion my employer said that they had no work for me and would let me know when i could return. it took me 5 weeks to get an ROE from them, which i had to ask numerously for. I am now hearing from another employee that my boss wanted to bring me back to work, but then another employee told him not to bring me back. there is one employee there who’s brother in law and i had a falling out. He seems to have it out for me and i am now hearing that he has told my boss not to bring me back and has told other people, not even employees of the company, that i am not being brought back to work. I have tried calling my boss numerous of times, all my calls are unanswered and are not returned. I went to the office to try to speak to my boss prior to hearing these rumours and he said i would be back at work when there was more work. when i received my ROE it was checked off that i would not be returning. My boss has not communicated my employment status to me however i am hearing it from other people that it is non existent. I am wondering if this is a case of defamation or wrongful dismissal. i am worried that if i quit i will not have a case against them, however they will not communicate to me if i am fired or not and i don’t know what i should do. I am the only registered apprentice at this employer and have been with them for about 4 years. i feel as though they have no reason to fire me as i have been a good employee and done my job.
