workplace hurassment, constructive dismissal

Posted in employees rights over 2 years ago, 0 replies

On the 27 of October I was crossing the Ambassador bridge crossing into the states as per my

employment. I paid my toll at the bridge and the lady in the booth made a mistake and hit the wrong

button that printed the receipt, I pulled forward as per rules at the bridge and noticed the mistake. I

called her at 6:15pm on the date in question and let her know of the mistake and she noted the mistake.

I called her back around 6:17 pm to tell her that the time indicated on the receipt was also wrong

after having more time to view the receipt. She indicated that she would write down the things that I

had told her and did so and notified him boss 2, of the discrepencies on the receipt. When I returned

on October 28/2009 to my home office in town Ontario , boss 1, boss 2 her and dispatch were in the

office. I walked up to boss 2's desk and showed boss 2 the receipt and asked if he was notified by her

of what had happened the day before. He responded "yes"! and "i have a problem with that". I said to

boss 2 that I called in and told her about the ticket and he said , "but here is the problem with

that". I told boss 2 at this point that I did not want to get into a big confrontation about what had

happened, as I have done my job in full and called her two times and reported the error, He stood up

and said " I cant even talk to you any more you Fucking Fat Son Of A Bitch" and then started toward me

after leaving behind his desk. I stepped back and asked him to repeat what he just said as he was

walking toward me, he then proceeded toward me closer and I stood back against the wall, he ended up

walking past me and slamming the main office door, while boss 1 just waved me off and laughed at his

reaction, a few seconds later boss 2 walked back into the office , toward his desk, and grabbed his

coat. He stated to boss 1 that "if you <boss> needed him <boss> at all he would be in his truck

tomorrow. He walked out the main office door again and slammed it and boss 1 had the same prior

reaction. I stayed and talked to boss 1 after the incident, and told him that that was uncalled for ,

and that what he commented to me just brought things to a whole new level, as he knew of a pervious

reaction boss 2 had toward me in a pervious meeting. I then proceeded to leave as I started to cry in

front of three witnesses, and then went home. I did another run to Crossville Tennesee on the 29 and

30th of October. On the 29th before leaving for Crossville I stopped at the office as required before

leaving the yard , to get paperwork and toll money, boss 2 was sitting at his desk, I said hello to

everyone to dispatch , boss 2 and her as these were the people present in the office this time. Picked

up my paperwork and left the office. I let things calm down for the weekend and called in sick on

Monday morning the 2nd of November 2009. I stated that I was upset mostly about the previous incident

and asked boss 1 if he had time to talk about it, he stated that he did have time, and then asked if i

would rather meet in person. I said sure. He said he would call me before 4pm on this day as I stated I

had an office appointment with the doctor at 415pm on November 2, 2009. I waited home all day and never

did receive a call from anyone at my company. On the 3/11/2009 I waited all day for a call and it never

came so i proceeded with my doctors note at 5.15pm into the office in town Ontario. Three people were

present again, boss 1 , dispatch and her. I stood beside boss 1's desk and waited to be acknowledged.

He told me that he just got to busy yesterday, and he was sorry he never made it out. I asked if he had

time to talk about what had happened on the 28th of October and he said yes. The conversation was

recorded and is also available .</boss></boss>
