I was allowed to take unpaid time off (10weeks) with no objection from my direct manager (I have texts for almost all days taken off). However, on return to a full time position (I was studying during time taken off) I was told that I would have to move to another location, under a different management, and perform hands on (labour) work instead of my usual production coordinator role (which includes mostly clerical work, with hands on work for “special assignments.”) I’ve told them that if they needed me for a short period of time to “help” the company it wouldn’t be an issue, but they’ve told me it’s a full time position or nothing. I’ve told them that since the job function is significantly going to change and the management too, I don’t really feel it’s fair for me to switch roles. Also, they haven’t asked anyone else at the current location I work, and I feel I’m being targeted (others have taken plenty days off too). They’ve talked to me two times and there’s another meeting the next week. I feel pressured and have had sleepless nights from wondering if I will be fired around Xmas.
Please advise if I have any rights against the management for the issue. I’m thinking of either quitting and finding another job or taking them to court if I have a reason.
Thank You and Best Regards.
