I had requested two days off - a Friday and the following Monday and was denied, I hurt my neck, the result gave me Thursday and the requested Friday off with a doctors note. Upon my return the atmosphere at work was unpleasant, I was looked over for banked time, and after about 2 weeks spoke to my manager about the atmosphere and asked if something could be done about it. I then was dismissed with the reason that I was no longer a fit for the company although I had reserved a raise and more responsibilities about 2 months prior and had never had any complaints made towards me or my work ethic. Is this a wrongful dismissal?

I am a senior product manager hired in March 2015. My job has been to start a new product line in the organization. However, it now requires more staff be hired to perform the tasks emerging out of my efforts (technical sales, project manager, engineer). In addition to my work I am taking on these tasks since there is no one to step up. These roles are not my expertise and not what i want to do. HR has not responded to a couple of emails bringing it to their attention. My boss followed up and said (lightweight duties would be required) these are not lightweight. If I give 6 months notice and then only carry out the duties i was hired to do. Which is not fairly limited work. What is their recourse? Or what would you suggest.
