I asked the owner if I would be able to get a raise and we kinda got into disagreeement with each other... he then told me he would see me the following morning at work to discuss it further so.... I showed up at work the following day and he was waiting for me 15 minutes before I started my shift and said if I’m not happy with my wage I can pack my stuff up and leave and made me go home and pack up all my tools with no notice or nothing never have I been wrote up or discipline in any kind of way there either. Is this wrongful dismissal?
Was hired as a nurse to work contract work at Millhaven Prison. Only there for two weeks. Was accused of refusing to accept a work assignment (which was dispensing certain psych meds; I offered to distribute insulin meds instead) as I hadn't felt confident yet in this new role. I received an email stating my employment was in jeopardy. Received phone call next day - I was terminated
I worked for a company since May 2018, and on Aug 19, 2018, 9:00 am I was dismissed with a Release letter which said "due to organizational restructuring a decision has been made to terminate your employment effective September 18, 2018". The release letter was dated September 18, but Operations manager and HR manager met with me on Aug 19 at 9:00 am. The letter says that they will pay me until Sep 28, 2018, and benefits will continue until Sep 28, 2018 as well. Is this all Legal or do I need to ask for anything different. I am an engineer, was working full time with no probation period in my job offer. Please advise.
I was let go from my job on September 7th with no warning. My probation period was 12 months and I was 10 months into the job. My boss and I had some issues however as fare as I new I was doing well until I got an email from her about 3 weeks before I was let go. The email was a rant on what I was not doing or taking to long to do. Other than that there was no other email or anything. Is there anything I can do?
I started working for a company in 2004 as an administrative assistant. In 2008 I was on a sick leave for major surgery, and was informed that the Executive Assistant/Office Manager had resigned. When I returned to work within the next few days I was informed that I would be filling that roll until a suitable candidate was hired. Everything had been going well as far as I knew because no issues were ever brought to my attention. However approx 6 months ago an HR Director was hired and her an I had an issue. She accused me of bullying a coworker and said she had brought it to my bosses attention. I asked her what grounds she had based it on considering she never brought met with me to get my side of the situation. I stated that I never bullied the coworker and asked to meet with my boss who is the Executive Director. He refused to meet with her and I to resolve the issue. She continue to harass me and started taking responsibilities away from me and hired herself an assistant to do the work. I presented a harassment claim against her to my boss and he refused to investigate it or present it to her. When I said you are leaving me no choice but to go to the board of directors he threatened me saying "I strongly advice you not to do that do you hear me?" I was sccared to get fired so I didnt. She quit a few weeks later. Due to his lack of respect for me and not protecting me from harrassment things got pretty cold between us. In July of this year I had knee surgery and was off for 6 weeks. The day I returned I was informed that I was to empty my office and return to my old desk as the Administrative Assistant. That I was no longer the Acting Executive Assistant/Office Manager. Or the supervisor to the two staff I had supervised for 10 years. I asked why my responsibilities were being taken from me before a suitable Executive Assistant/Office Manager was hired and my boss said because of your illnesses...if you arent hear you cant do your job. I suffer from weekly headaches/migraines and stomach issues. During those 10 years my health issues were the only thing that were brought to my attention. Like everyone else in the office I was told I had flexible hours but since the incident with the HR Directir he started to give me a hard time about not arriving until 9am when my the office opens at 830. I said I have always had flexible hours and he said well I want you to start working at 830 or I want a medical note stating you require flexible hours, which I provided to him. So when I was told the job was being taken from me I was shocked. My new supervisors has been very belittling to myself and another girl on my department. Constantly making us call her every time we leave for lunch and get back. Telling us people we think are our friends that they arent because they are back stabbing us. And that we are at the bottom of the wage grid and we need to respect everyone else because they are above us. And that she is allowed to treat us different than everyone else in the office and we dont get the same privileges as the other 20 staff in the office. She screamed at us in front of everyone at the main reception desk last week stating it doesn't take two people at the front desk. I responded saying I was on my lunch break and I had just come out of the washroom. Tgat zi event feeling well and needed to go home. So she yelled and just said then leave. I cant handle the stress any more it is causing me to be depressed and more migraines. I am on a two week stress leave. I emailed my boss asking if he we could meet for a private meeting and he said no not without your supervisor, whi I forgot to mention is now acting as the HR Director. So I withdrew my meeting request. I dont know what else to do and I cant handle it anymore. I am 50 years old and was hoping to work there another 5 years until I retire. Sorry this is so long.
