DH is in a management role with a large company. He loved his job until 18 months ago when he got a new boss. He has been unsettled since then, but was waiting until March 2025 to resign, because that's when some significant share options mature (the end of a 5 year scheme). He knows his boss doesn't like him much. Today he was told that his department is being reorganised. His role is being replaced by a slightly different role, which he can apply for. He doesn't want it, and doesn't think his boss wants him to have it, but if he doesn't apply, is that likely to put his redundancy package at risk? i.e. tantamount to resigning.
Ideally he wants a redundancy package which includes whatever proportion of the share options package is due to him.
