Hi I have been working in a non-profit organization for 12 years as a Director in managing a department. However due to the government funding cut starting from 2015, my boss wants to reduce my wage 20% but I immediately refused to take the cut. Prior to my holiday vacation, I presented her a balanced budget but the finance director who works side by side with my new boss changed my budget and forced the department to have $40000 surplus in 2015 in spite of the funding cut nearly 30%, he also discredited the income figure I put on the budget by lowering it down to $60000 less that showed on the staff salary section. When asking them who will be impacted from lay off, they said will talk to me after I return to work in Jan. 2015. I feel possibly they either change my position into a part time or lay me off. Is this a constructive dismissal? We have other departments' funding cut by the government from time to time, but other Directors or managers of those departments appeared not being impact. Also in the last 2 years, the organization has been letting most of the older minority management staff go. I was pretty much the last minority management staff. I sense strong discrimination against me because I am an older management staff and a minority. Is this a human right issue?
