Hello
I wondered if anyone could give me any advice, as I dont know if i have a legal case or am just hacked off....
Basically when I announced I was pregnant my boss started being unreasonable and I presume was hoping to get me to quit. Unreasonable workload, ignoring me, not inviting me to meetings I should attend etc.. I was off work during that time for 1 week when my doctor signed me off, but worked my bs off the rest of the time. Just as I was leaving I saw some papers that implied they would get rid of my post in my absence (org chart without me on it and new more senior JD with 'essentials' that I couldnt meet). However, instead they met with me just after I gave birth to say they were recruiting this more senior post in my department (i was at that point the Head). I was annoyed but surprised my job was still apparently going to be there. Now Ive had a chance to have a proper look and basically theyve recruited someone to my job description and are just paying them slightly more!!
My issue is if I go back I will be doing a more junior role, as there cant be two people running things. So whilst work may be 'easier', I want to work at the same level as when I left - Ive worked hard in my career and feel completely undermined and demoted. It'll look really bad on my CV I went from Head of department to being second in command and from doing strategic work to more processing type. I know I am lucky so far they are saying i still have a role but Im really angry they have been so unreasonable and crafty and basically given my job away, which I feel is forcing me to resign. But have I missed the boat.
Or do I need to get a new JD showing that the tasks are more junior to have a case?
Sorry i know I am lucky to potentially still have a job, but I feel they have written me off for having a child and it'll genuinely affect my CV and career which isnt fair!
