are there distance limits that an employer can move your place of work? For example, if my place of work re-locates and it is too far for me to commute, is that constructive dismissal?

Hello...I have been with my organization for 33.5 years and I am 54 years old. I am a Sales Director and they are restructuring and gave me the option to take a demotion to an individual contributor with the same pay or take a package and leave.
