Can you get fired because of “drama”. a foreman tried making me wear ppe when I already had ppe head phones on, and he took me back to the yard. I fought respectfully but stern with my bosses and they said I have to much drama already. Previously gave me a week off because I broke my finger in a non work related environment! My head phones meet the occupation heath and safety act and Since that Forman doesn’t want to work with me I get sent home. Is this fair and allowed?
I've been with my employer for almost five years now. I have always been given very high appraisals and each year I have received 90-100% of my performance pay. A year ago I applied for another position within the company as it was a new technology and I wanted to learn it to be more valuable to my employer. I was given an interview with the manager of that group right away and he told me he was extremely excited to get someone of my knowledge and talents applying for his team. He suggested I would be hired and trained to do the job right away. He also said there was lots of work on the team. I was hired, given a pay increase and sent for training within the first six months. Right after the training I asked to be assigned a team member to help me with hands-on training, real experience to solidify what the training showed me. I was told to ask the other team members if I could observe them and while several agreed they later told me they were either too busy or it wasn’t a good time to show me. I was then asked to help other teams with their work. I agreed to help them but quickly learned I was being directed to assume a position within this other team. I questioned my manager who denied I was being moved off my original team. The other team insisted I was being moved to their team permanently which my manager denied. Then about a month later I was told there wasn't enough work on my original team, the team I had eagerly joined six months earlier and was assured there was plenty of work. My manager said I would have to learn two more skillsets I knew nothing about in order to be able to work on these other teams. Just recently during my mid-year review my manager whom I always had a great relationship with told me I was expected to be helping the other teams ASAP and if I wasn’t performing by end of year or earlier I could be dismissed. I my previous roles during the first four years I was described by all levels of management as a model employee and someone others should look up to. I feel something is up and I could be targeted for a constructive dismissal. Is this what is happening to me and could you give me some advice on how to procede?
I have worked at my job for just over a year. I have had zero complaints on my record a 2$ an hour pay raise in the first 3 months and nothing but compliments. Yesterday when i came back from my lunch they were holding interviews for my job. I am still working but have had no indication as to why they have posted my job and are about to fire me.
What do I do if I think I was fired because I came to my employer about my mental health
I work two jobs a weekday and a weekend job I’m in first three months but am worried I may get fired from my weekend job. I get no prior notice of shifts until I’m texted the night before telling me I have to come in I explain I’m working my other job and can’t always be available if I’m not given notice if I’m let go am I still entitled to pay
