I have been a national level manager within my company for the past 7 years, been with the company for 17 years and the industry for 30. I have always received good reviews and promotions. 4 weeks ago my manager approached me and informed me that the company president wants somebody with a different skill set for my position. I was told I would be moved laterally with a large amount of input into my new duties and this would not affect my compensation. Last Monday they posted my job internally. Today I met with HR and my manager after requesting clarification on what was happening. I was told that I am being demoted not moved laterally and would be expected to support and assist in training my replacement. I was also told that HR would have to look into whether it would affect my compensation but did say it would affect my bonus. I am being pressured to tell them what I would like to do, they are not providing an offer or outline. My alarm bells are ringing and I am wondering what steps I need to take to preserve my rights if this is a constructive dismissal.
