Unsupportive Work Environment

I want to quit my job due to an unsupportive work environment. My schedule was changed, at my request, to work a different shift from now on. I was told I would be starting this new shift today, however my schedule was not changed and now I am being written up for two no-call/no-shows. I have also been written up for not completing assigned tasks, previous to this situation. In that case, the assigned tasks were unfair and unclearly communicated to me. I have spoken with the administrator of the facility on three different occasions about being singled out and ‘picked on’ or ‘set up’ 2 fail

If you feel you are being treated unfairly you need to go through the proper chains within the company (i.e. human resources) they usually have a system set up for this type of treatment. If you feel that is not sufficient you other option is to hire an attorney who can proceed on your behalf if you have been discriminated against or harassed.

In order to have a valid cause of action ou will need to meet certain standards which you will be informed of by the attorney. At this point you need to locate your employment contract to bring to the attorney it should state you have the right to a good environment etc. You also need to document everything that happens, if your told something when and by whom.

Everything needs to be set forth in a clear manner and presented to see if you have a case. If it is unbearable i suggest seeing the attorney because either you do have a case or you don't but than you can decide the next step to take
