Susan proceeded to indicate she was interested in her boss. She gave him suggestive looks, made flirtatious comments, and invited him to dinner. This started a personal relationship which evolved both inside and outside of the office. After a number of months, however, Susan decided to end the relationship outside the office. Her boss was quite upset about this decision and repeatedly asked her to come back to him - which she refused to do. Susan began to receive negative performance reviews from her boss and was written up for a variety of events, including lateness (which was infrequent), and absences (for which she produced a doctor's note). She was asked to work late on a number of occasions, and sometimes refused. Susan finally quit because of continual criticisms of her work. After a couple of months, Susan decides to contact the PEI human rights commission. 10. Angela was once convicted of impaired driving.
