My theory is he’s too scared to tell me our other boss doesn’t want me back even though I was not fired, she just doesn’t like me at all. What do I do? I’m only going back because I need the money and can’t afford more time off work.

Is this legal? At this point should I just demand severance pay?

Edit to add: I’m in Canada
