I've worked at this call centre for almost 3 years now when I first applied I was told after a year I would receive a raise I aahvent received it and every time I ask about it they start to put me on projects I'm not good at to decrease my productivity and then eventually stop shifting me the first time I asked for a raise I wasn't shifted for 5 months when I recently returned to work this past June I was doing good great actually the first day back I had the most sales on the project I was on I waited about a week for my productivity to increase more and my performance to be better to ask for a raise once more when I did I was told again that I would be spoken to about that later eventually they switched my project to a project that they continuously recycle and my productivity went down again now they have stopped shifting me and one of the team leaders had told another employee that him and the shift manager think I'm not a good agent and that if I can't work evening shifts I should find a new job where I can work now reason why I feel that unfair is because I've told them time and time again I can not work past 5 I gotta be able to pick up my daughter from daycare before 6 so I feel they are conspiring to get me to quit or something because they won't answer my texts requesting a shift and when he does he says there are no shifts available I have gone a month now no work I fell behind on bills no groceries for me and my daughter and my phone is cut I want to know if this is legal or if it's right this company is very suspicious too a lot of illegal/suspicious activity goes on in there so I'm wondering if anything can even be done by anyone please tell me what I can do about this
Thank you for your question. To the extent that the company is reducing your hours (and therefore your pay), you may have a constructive dismissal claim. This is particularly the case if they are cutting off your work phone. If you do not have a written objection to this treatment yet, you should consider putting this all in writing to your manager. In a situation like this, the most important thing that you can do is voice your objection (preferably in writing) so that the company cannot later claim that you acquiesced to the change. I would also strongly recommend that you consult with a lawyer. These types of claims are tricky and very fact-dependent.
