My manager has recently told all other staff that I am no longer reporting to his department and being transferred to another department. I will no longer be completing my regular duties but have no idea what I will be doing in the other department. My manager has not officially told me that my role or duties have been dismissed but have been told by the manager that I will be reporting to in the other department that this may be happening. I have been in this position for 1.5 years and trained another individual that was hired 1 year ago to complete the same type of work but in another city. The manager of the construction department had a meeting yesterday and informed all that this new employee would be completing all of the administrative work for both Brantford and London and that I would be transferring to anther department. Should I consider this to be a Constructive Dismissal?
You may be able to consider this a constructive dismissal, in which case you will be entitled to termination pay. Before you do this, please contact our firm to discuss the changes to your job in more detail.

Should I wait and see what the other department has to offer me? And how long should I wait as I have not been officially told by my current manager that this is happening. Was announced yesterday at a meeting that I was not invited too.
You will certainly want to find out more information before treating your job as having been constructively terminated. Therefore, it may be helpful to speak with someone in management who could advise of this.
