I was hired as an Intake coordinator for an Ontario law office. The position was Remote. I was restricted from Operating my Process Serving business. Everything was going fine, I had not been reprimanded or received any type of performance write ups. I was notified at 3pm by Teams that a meeting was to take place at 4pm. Once everyone was in attendance, I was told that I was being terminated effective immediately without cause. When I asked the Managing Lawyer / Owner as to why. I was told "it was due to the decrease in incoming calls" This issue was addressed daily with office management, owner/Managing Lawyer and the newest hired COO. I also addressed the hiring of an another intake coordinator and the overall restrictions placed on the Lead generation by the office management which directly impacted my position.

I work at an optometry clinic, hired as a sales advisor for the retail side but was quickly asked to step into the more administrative role of Optometry Assistant. I accepted the verbal offer several months ago but never got the promised pay increase.

Is this constructive dismissal? What can I do?
