I am assistant manager at Walmart canada. Been 8 years running front end. Was switched to overnights. I cannot mentally or physically adapt to working overnights plus I have an hour commute each way. I took time off due to physical and mental toll it’s taken. Was to return recently and can’t. I told my mgr I can’t adjust to overnights and maybe I need to resign, was hoping they can switch me off this shift but instead she wants to come by my home today for me to sign a voluntary resignation
An employer cannot unilaterally force you to take an overnight shift. If they are forcing this change on you, this is considered a constructive dismissal, allowing you to "resign" but claim the "resignation" is in fact a termination and allowing you to receive a severance package.
