Yesterday I posted about how I felt I was being given a constructive dismissal type firing from my workplace.

Today, there is news to report. I am not sure if I'm fired or not, but I was told (without me having any animosity towards my manager) to leave the premises or the police would be called. That's the short version.

To go at more length about what's going on, I went in for my 7AM start like usual for a Friday. Management doesn't come in until 8AM. I performed my job duties as required from start until when my manager came flying in. I did not cause issues, I did not go beyond my duties to cause any trouble. I was there to work.

He texted a coworker with no involvement asking why he (the manager) wasn't informed I was on the premises. He sternly asked what my choice was, to which I responded that I would not be accepting a new position, nor would I be wilfully resigning from my old.

I was told to leave, to which I responded, "Am I fired?". He responded back with "Leave or I'm calling the Police to remove you". So I left as so not to involve the police. Mind you this is at a public facing business at 8AM.

At no point yesterday or today was I ever contacted by HR. At no point yesterday or today was I ever given any papers to sign, nor have I ever had any known disciplinary marks against me.

I wrote a detailed email to the head of HR explaining everything from the past few days and am awaiting a reply, in which I asked for paperwork regarding my reason for termination plus any unknown disciplinary action.
