Hi all,
I recently started work 2 weeks ago as a supervisor in a food shop. Unfortunately the same week I started my job, my dad died 2 days after starting so I took 6 days off as compassionate leave. Came back to work- the other supervisor said that I was too slow and need to speed up.
Next day, I go to work and my supervisor informs me that managers have decided to demote me and move me to another shop within the company. Its either this or I get the sack.
They didnt even give me the bloody chance to prove myself.
The manager hasnt spoken to me, hasnt reviewed my performance- nothing.
Can they actually do this?? Is there anything I can do? HELP!!!

Wait until the manager speaks to you. But if they offer you the option of demotion or dismissal, then as long as they give you enough notice, that won’t be unlawful. Immoral, but not unlawful.

You have no legal rights under 2 years as others have already stated - harsh but unfortunately true.
