I am a support analyst for an Accounting Software Company.
Our company had a round of layoffs in December.
In late January, in addition to the extra work resulting from the layoffs within my department, I also advised I would be responsible for Documentation as the person who had been hired to be in charge of Documentation was laid off.
I brought up my objections after the first of 2 one hour training sessions.
During that meeting, I was given the impression that this would be temporary and that they would push to make changes, and that for now, I would just need to maintain the release notes documentation which occurs once or twice a month.
I've recently been approached about making large scale formatting changes and instructional changes that are well outside what I would consider the general maintenance of release notes.
My concern is if I am entitled to a constructive dismissal, that I may have waited too long, or have a limited time to act.

Thank you for your question.

Your concerns are well founded, as it may indeed be too late to do anything at this point, if it is legally determined that you have "acquiesced" to the changes. However, if you have voiced consistent objections that may not be the case.

I would recommend that you contact us at the number below as soon as possible for a consultation so that we can help you take the appropriate action in this matter. You may be entitled to significant compensation, but it is crucially important that you act immediately and as soon a possible.
