- Ive been with this company for 19 years
- They approached me about a promotion after we had 2 people leave
- In the small print off the offer I signed was a 3 month - 1 day probation period
- During the probation period I was given no feedback about how I was doing even after I had asked
- I was given a 4 week training plan
- Everything seemed good then I received a call to come into the office
- They terminated my new position due to not meeting company expectations, and demoted me back to my old position
- This was done just outside of the 3 month probation period, and before my 4 week training plan was completed. I signed the offer June 28th, position was terminated Sept 30th. 3 months - 1 Day would have been Sept 27th?
- Is this considered constructive dismissal and am I entitled to my full severance of 19 years?
- Work place is also turning toxic for me as everyone is talking about my demotion, I don't even want to be there anymore
Thank you for your question. This very well could be a constructive dismissal, depending on the terms of your contract and the nature of the promotion (and subsequent demotion).
