Been on a challenging work assignment the last few months with unreasonably high expectations. We managed to inch through and make significant progress despite the limitations. My director, without discussing with me first, sends me an email stating that all the responsibility of the "project" side of my role will be distributed to other people, and my primary work will now solely be in the "development" space; which was not what was initially agreed upon at any point in time. I asked my director to reconsider, even providing options to move me to different roles that were recently vacated, in which he declined. Is this considered constructive dismissal?
Thank you for your question. We will need to review additional information, including a copy of your employment agreement, to provide a fulsome assessment. In some situations, a unilateral demotion by the Company may amount to a constructive dismissal. Please contact us at the number below to schedule a more formal consultation.
