Is was fired without severance pay am I entitled to it

I just got let go, after working for a small company for only 2months. I went up to them to let them know there's Harrassment, bullying in the workplace with a co-worker. Four days after they fired me. They said there's no work for me because I cant get along with the person bullying me. Is this right? What actions can I take?

I was recently terminated from my company for using the word "gaaaaaaay" on a company website, which i didnt even know was a company website. It was said in the original meaning of the word which is light hearted and care free, but was taken completely out of context. On my termination letter it states that i am hateful and homophobic, even though i am not. I have gay friends and i am bisexual myself. Is there any steps to take to get my job back or should i look to find new employment?

Should I attempt to negotiate my dismissal offer prior to seeking legal advise?

I am a bus driver and had a restriction put on my license because I took a blow to the head and it caused me to suffer from a vestibular problem. I was modified for a year doing a portion of my work the clerical work I am also a driver trainer. I was told in June 2018 there was no more modified for me and I needed to go on medical leave I did but was cut off my 15 weeks EI because they stTed I should have still been on modified. I kept the company up to date of any changes to my drivers license. I advised the safety manager on Aug 20/ 19 the MTO have suspended my license for medical reasons. I received through regular mail a week ago a letter of termination stated I have not communicated with them since I left I. June 2018 and because I have a licence downgraded to a class G. I still hold a B licence however it is suspended. I feel I have been terminated unfarely. If I contact them and the offer me my job back on medical leave do I have to take it. The letter states my termination date is Jan 6/20
