I have been employed at my agency for 14 years. Last year it was decided that they needed someone who had credentials although I had been doing the job previously with no auditor management review report. Their was a review and I knew the outcome before it was completed. It was very stressful and in my opinion unnessary .A way for management (although I am concerned part of that group)to justify a decision already made..There were changes to my responsibly which I accepted. I have over the year a lose of prestige and status. I accepted because I felt it was for the good of the agency, however work load did decrease. Recently when I was confronted with not having several tasks completed and I pointed out it was the workload what can we take from you. I feel like I am being manipulated and now farther reduction in prestige and status. Can I now claim constructive dismissal? I am close to retirement ,2 and a half years and that management perceives that they can do whatever they want. I don't want to make waves, I have been a very dedicated employee which I know has been noted and need to make make room for the new generation but respect the old.

If they have changed the terms of your employment RECENTLY in a significant way, this may be a constructive dismissal which would allow you to leave with severance (likely 18 months pay). If that is something that you would like to discuss, please give me a call.
