1:44 Let go before end of notice period
I informed my employer it was my last year of work and I would retire. After a few weeks of training a new employee, my employer let me go and waived my notice. Can they do this?
5:09 Let go due to damaged work equipment
I was a delivery driver for 5 years and was laid off temporarily due to the pandemic. I was eventually called back to work. I was recently let go because my truck sustained some damage, but it wasn’t my fault.

7:19 Unattainable goals expected of employees
I work as a bill collector, and we have certain expectations every month. If we don’t meet our targets, we’re expected to work for free now and then. The goals are ultimately not attainable.
11:07 Terminated despite ongoing modified duties
I was on modified duties at work, recommended by my doctor, and my employer initially agreed. However, I was later terminated, possibly due to my inability to perform certain tasks. Is this discrimination?

23:37 Promised a promotion
I was asked by my employer if I would be interested in a promotion. I had a verbal conversation, and I was promised a raise if I agreed to run this new project.
