I have been ignored by a coworker that lied to two coworkers. We 4 worked evening shifts together. They ignored me and wouldn't talk to me for months. I went in crying and out of work crying. I left my full time job to take a part time job at the same place to get away from them. A year and a half later, I found out that this RPN lied to my other two coworkers, stating I reported them for stealing food and having a cell phone on the floor. I brought it to management's attention only to be pulled in for; "digging and fishing for information". A year later another coworker heard conversations from these three about me being pulled into the managers office. She also said, the RPN tried to recruit her to report back to her whatever I say. This coworker reported it to my boss. Nothing happened. Only a few weeks later this RPN yelled at me and another 2 coworkers witnessed it. I got suspended for crying in a residents room. I was given the residents bill of rights as their reason. I'm being bullied, harrassed and stressed beyond belief. Nothing ever gets done. I live in a small rural town, otherwise I would have quit. What do you think?

While out of the country on vacation this week, the HR department of my employer called me on behalf of my 2nd line manager who was "not available" to speak to me. HR said my job is eliminated and they also sent me separation papers that morning by email (the severance was only Ontario "statutory", not full severance). Meanwhile, I emailed my 1st line manager and he was alarmed, and escalated to the division executive. I believe this was some kind of budget and headcount allocation squabble. So, three days later this week I got another call from HR, and email, retracting my notice as "null and void" due to an "error". My immediate manager told me he could not explain the situation but that my job was not eliminated. I am due to go back to work Monday -- do you have any advice for me, do I have any recourse? I was traumatized by the experience and it ruined my vacation.
