I have lost my job in may * as I was told I was harassing a coworker after she sent me a text saying I was in her personal space and touching too much after working with this person for over a year I made the mistake of touching her saying it was sticking out as we used to torment each other all the time and I always asked if I was a bother she said no it's fine. I was told I was late and wouldn't be fired for it only docked my hours and put in at a later start time ,my hours were cut back * hours a week after after being asked if someone else needed to be hired I said no I'm around and can work .I have received a letter of work performance but no consequence of my actions was told by my employer to get mental help and was told I could run the whole store front to back but then told all the things I'm doing wrong
