Job advertised without knowledge

At a bit of a loss really. Have been recommended a job on linked in that is my job and unsure if I have any rights.... bit of context:

  • Been in role less than two years
  • Am one of the senior management, and the only person who does my specific technical role AND the job spec is def mine as I wrote it and its my words.
  • No performance issues raised, no negative feedback given at all. Have proactively tried every few months to get any feedback and its all been you are doing a great job, doing what we need etc etc.
  • Have been increasingly feeling like I have been left out of things (for example I work 4 days a week but there is a key meeting that is being held behind my back on my day off).
  • I have raised with my boss (the CEO) that I have felt excluded and on the back foot on some certain issues and have been repeatedly told that I am being paranoid and been dismissed.

So at the end of the day they want to get rid of me. I suspect my face doesnt fit anymore and that is absolutely fine. I actually was working as a contractor with this company for 9 months and resigned because I didnt feel it was the right fit for me, and after 6 months gone they begged me to come back 18 months ago on a perm basis, so its a bit of a kick in the teeth but whatever, its business.

I guess my question is - what are my rights if anything? I know its under 2 years but surely advertising my role before dismissing me is not on? And secondly, how do I play this? Do I just wait for them to dismiss and payout my notice to me, as I think it's going to take them at least 4 months maybe 6 to get a replacement for me anyway (most people at my level at 3 months if not 6 months notice).

Any advice?

@ChicCroissant hi, no I haven’t changed my name on this thread. The other poster talking about their contact and similar issue isn’t me.

I’ve been into work, and still haven’t said anything about knowing, just keeping my head down and looking for another job! Nothing has been said to me either Hmm

I'd be tempted, once you've got another job lined up, to get the agency to submit your anonymised CV, get invited to interview and turn up Grin

Can you get a friend to email in about the job from another account and ask a few questions like, how they job cane about and what start date they are looking at etc?
