Hi,
Long story short boss accidentally uploaded a document to shared folder outlining various redundancies, paycuts, demotions, alongside lots of lovely personal comments to justify why.
Let's focus on me alone. I am being demoted with a paycut but apparently "due to my "family situation" I might leave but also might accept a part time role?" baby due in a couple months. I am breadwinner and this is known.
I was quite irritated by this. Should my family situation come into this at all? Surely not legal to use this as leverage to try to achieve further "savings"????
Upon finding out their error and realising I and one other had opened the file (the title of the file was relating to my role and I genuinely mistook it for one of my own docs) I was sworn to silence and made to promise I didn't have any copies of the file...?
