[FL] [FL] What steps can I take to ensure I am not wrongfully terminated from a job?

I have a grumpy supervisor that may have taken offense when I called out an issue and wrongdoing within our system. I feel she may want to find a way to get rid of me for whistleblowing. I don’t know if HR can be trusted.

What do I do if my employer denies worker compensation?

I got an injury on the job. When I asked to see my personal physician, they clocked me out and told me it wasn’t a workers compensation claim. I had to pay for my own treatment. Prior to this, I turned in a predestination of personal physician form a week after getting hired.

[VA] [VA] How should I proceed with repaying my employer for a sign-on bonus loan that I owe for being two months short of the required 18 months?

A former Virginia-based employer is asking for repayment of a sign-on bonus “loan” for remaining employed for 16 of the 18 months required for the loan. I am seeking assistance in reviewing the sign-on bonus contract and for representation to propose a prorated repayment amount and potentially set a repayment schedule. I am also open to counsel on the best option to handle this situation.

What’s the process I need to go through to find out the difference between a narrative I’m being fed and what’s actually going on? Someone in the workplace is hacking my phone, and I suspect a cover-up by my former and current supervisor who violated my privacy and included my co-workers.

How do I report a hostile work environment?

I recently quit my job at a local tax accounting firm. I left due to my boss making me feel uncomfortable. She would often make me feel minimized and even mocked me at times. One time, she asked me who I voted for president, and when I gave my answer, she laughed at me in front of the whole office. I was the only one of differing political views in the office, so this made me very uncomfortable. Another time, she spoke to me about how she does not respect those who transition from one sex to another, and that “that is a battle they will never win”. I feel that I should do something to report this hostile environment, but I am not sure what I can do, if anything.
