I been let go cause I was bullied by the kitchen manger and wrote a email stating of the harrsament for last 6 months and I made multiple complains to my owner and never been told that there was an investigation or anything. last thrus (1-4-23) I wrote to the owner of an another accident involving the bully and me and also how I been seeing a therapist and got meds for my anxiety and how he never did anything about it and his only reply was we talk on Sunday. then Sunday I go in to work and worked all day and he sat me down and told me that I am not a good fit for this location after 2 years of employment at same location.
I was also demoted on november for no reason at all and only got 2 days noticed and went back to serving. I now know I have rights there for sure and went from 60 hrs a week to 25 hrs week plus tips. ham basically 300/ pay less and approx 400 less a week in tips. I feel that I am in the right to call an employment lawyer fro constructive dismissal and my human rights for the bull. I'm I correct? will I have a case??

I wish they would do a segment in the show where they cover employment contracts and how they can minimize your right to severance. My former employer had a clause stating that I only get minimum entitlement. I was employed for two years and according to ESA I do not qualify for severance because I would have had to be there for 5 years. This clause feels like a predatory practice by employers that is being allowed.
