My friend started working as a Recreation coordinator at a retirement home on a Maternity Leave cover (12 months contract) in August 2017. The woman she's covering for, decided not to come back so my friend was offered the job on a permanent basis. In June 2019 the company was sold and in Septmber 2019, my friend was let go without cause. She was given 2 weeks' termination pay and 2 additional weeks of pay. Does her first year when she was on a contract count towards her entitlement for severance?

I told my boss that I didn’t want to work late since I was given zero notice on a last minute job on a Friday after he tried to force me to work overtime for the Nth time. I ended up simply leaving at my normal time cause he wasn’t at the shop when I left but he saw me driving away and followed me tailgating me until I pulled over and told him that I have things to do at which point he replied with “you like your job” in a angry way then sped off. At the moment he hasn’t said anything about me being fired but I want to be prepared if he does so what should I do?
