Add Comment Question: Worked for Walmart for 20 years, for the last 14 as a Department Manager. With their recent changes was forced to reapply for my job. Applied for 3 department manager positions, was not hired and am being forced to take demotion to a lesser position working late evenings and weekends or quit. Answer: Good morning, Thank you for your enquiry. My name is Chris Justice and I am a lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. In regards to your situation, it seems as though you are being "constructively dismissed", which is when there is a significant change to the terms of your contract that you do no agree with. A demotion would constitute a constructive dismissal. If you have been constructively dismissed, you would likely be entitled to the same compensation you would receive had you been terminated. As a Department Manager with 20 years of service for Walmart, your notice and/or severance entitlements could be substantial. Before you consider quitting (or accepting a demoted role), I highly recommend that you contact me directly at 416-216-5859. We can discuss your options and I can gather some more information in order fully advise you as to your rights and entitlements in this case.
