I’m in Ontario and I need advice on whether I should contact the labour board or an employment lawyer.
Since August, I’ve been consistently working full-time hours (evening shifts 2–10 PM / 3–11 PM), but I’ve been kept under a part-time classification.

At one point, I was asked to start earlier at 2 PM because the number of clients was increasing and they needed more help. I asked if my status would be changed to full-time since I was already working full-time hours and would be working even more. I was told no, and that to be full-time I would need a car and be able to work at two homes.
That didn’t make sense to me because:

I’ve been working full-time hours since August without a car
My shifts are evenings and there is reliable public transportation

Other Nurses in that same company and building are working full-time without having a car
I declined taking on extra hours under a part-time title because it didn’t make sense to take on more workload without a status change.
Now I’ve been told they are bringing in a full-time employee who doesnt have the requirement they asked me for to take all my shifts, and I’m being moved to another home for 4-hour evening shifts during the week plus weekends. This would significantly reduce my hours and not even meet the biweekly hours I’ve been consistently working.

at one point in was working 14 days straight consistently with no day off even though it was a policy between all workers both part time and full time? and only got days off if i was too exhausted or called in as they “couldnt give me a day off until they could find someone”

So essentially:
I’ve been working full-time hours for months
Was denied full-time status for a reason that doesn’t seem consistently applied
Now my hours are being cut drastically and my shifts are being given to someone else
Would this be considered constructive dismissal? Should I go through the Ministry of Labour or contact an employment lawyer first?
Any advice is appreciated.

The past week my day-to-day reality the past week has felt really strange and negative since I started doing intense manifestation practices. like unfavourable negative experiences and alot of unexpected bad news back to back.
l've been heavily meditating and visualizing right when ! wake up and before bed, listening to sleep affirmation tapes at night, using subliminals during the day, and constantly affirming in my head throughout the day.
Since starting this, I've also been having very vivid, graphic, scary disturbing nightmares, Has anyone experienced something similar after increasing these kinds of practices? have been manifesting stuff for years with no issue until this week???
