Add Comment Question: I've been with my employer for a little over 6 years. My day-to-day work has changed significantly in the past 1 year or so. Compensation has hit a glass ceiling, promotion isn't an option, and attempts to move internally haven't been successful. Management acknowledges the problem but haven't been able to do anything tangible to help. If I resign, is severance an option, and if so, how much? Answer: A significant change to your terms of employment, including your job responsibilities, can be considered a constructive dismissal, which would potentially allow you to seek severance. However, if these changes occurred a year ago, you may have lost the opportunity to make such a claim. We would need to discuss your situation with you in more detail in order to properly assess what options you have in the circumstances.
