Add Comment Question: I have been with my employer for nearly 10 years. I was recently told that due to organizational changes, my current role is no longer aligned with my skills and would normally result in termination. However, I’ve been verbally offered a different role in another department, which appears to be materially different and not equivalent in scope. I have not received a written offer for the new role — only a job description and high-level compensation details. I was also told verbally that a severance package is available if I decline, but no details have been provided. Before responding, I want to understand: 1. Could this situation constitute constructive dismissal if the new role is not comparable? 2. Should I request full written details of both the new role and severance before making a decision? 3. Are there risks in declining the new role without a formal severance offer? What steps should I take to protect my position? Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. To properly assess your situation, we will need to review the specific details of the potential change. In some instances, a unilateral change of this nature may result in a constructive dismissal. Prior to making a decision, please request full written details of the new role and contact us to schedule a formal consultation.
