To get back to the job I love without any repercussions,I know that will probably not happen,I just need to know what I can do legally

This is rediculous,i have no answer,why .?
Expert:  Ben Jones replied 7 months ago.

Because there are numerous other customers and you do not get an answer immediately.

On what grounds are you being abused, what are the reasons for them doing that?
