I was the subject of harassment by a co-worker for over 2 months. I repeatedly asked my boss to deal with it. He had a sit-down with myself and the other person after close to a month in to the problem. The behaviour continued. I elevated my complaint to HR almost a month later. The problem was solved with the other person. The very next day, my boss assigned me to a less desirable shift. I was left stunned. I went home part way through the shift (both from exasperation and exhaustion). The company then presented me with a warning letter about leaving and that I never reported my departure to anyone. I had indeed informed my co-worker. I have been terminated (for cause). There are other elements but this is the gist.

This certainly does not appear to be cause for termination. You are, therefore, entitled to severance. We certainly need to talk, in order for me to assess your entitlements. My contact information is below.
