Need a little more clear information. I think you should find a new job.

The first thing is probably to sit down with your boss and just have a conversation. Honestly, it probably makes a difference if you are also salaried or paid by the hour. If you are salaried you are often expected to come in and work on your days off. In that case there is not much you can do about it.
If the situation cant be resolved, the HR, human resource department of your company is probalby the first. Whether or not this is at your actual companies location or not.
It probably really also depends on the specific topic of this conversation your daughter heard. As the parent, the first thing to do, would have been to get her out of that interview, if it was as serious as you said. Next, for you to talk with her about it, and work to resolve both your and her feelings. Not knowing what its about its really hard to say and give you a better answer. But its hard to imagine, a work situation so serious, that its done this much damage.

It sounds like you work in a nursing home or something like that. I can't imagine what could have caused such anxiety - Unless it was severe abuse or something like that. Talk to your daughter about what she heard and help her sort it out. I don't know who you could call regarding this tho. Tho if she was in the same room and the conversation shifted to more serious matters, they should have informed you first to have your daughter wait in the next room. I suppose if it is causing such anxiety for her and you, you could always contact an attorney. (?)

What good is a letter going to do you, really? Why don't you talk to your daughter about the conversation? Kids are pretty smart and understanding and it is my observation that often fear just comes from not understanding a situation. Parents can always talk to their kids (about ANYTHING) and teach their children about the facts of life--even the unpleasant ones. Isn't that better than letting her learn the hard way?

It is time to start interviewing for a new job.
And yes. Caller id.
I have a job that REQUIRES off-hour access. I still don't answer the phone until I am ready.
Also, at 7, your daughter is safe in the next room.

one thing i learned very quickly when i was still working that would have avoided this whole problem:
CALLER ID
on your days off if you can't deal with work or even just don't want to -- DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE. it's pretty simple and hey, if you're off, it's your time. legally, there's nothing anyone can do.
