Took day off and returned to find member of staff taken away from me

I just want to check on what procedure should have been followed here. I had a day off and returned to find that the member of staff I managed was now reporting directly to the director as I do myself.
I believe I should have been consulted prior to this being signed, sealed and delivered and not confronted with it as being a done deal. I should be grateful for opinions on this.

I don't think that there is much you could do. Why do you think you should have been consulted?0

I left work for the weekend and returned to find that I had been effectively demoted. I just feel that it would have been courtesy to consult me prior to announcing the decision and not have it presented to me as a fait accompli!0

You're not demoted as such, just the staff member has to report to someone else. have you asked why yet?0

I have my appraisal tommorrow...! Thank you all for your help.0

In the words of the employment solicitor I usually consult with issues such as this... "Its their company, they can do what they like".
Like it or lump it, its the truth.0 -
I dont even see that you have been demoted.
What makes you think you have.
You have l less staff to manage but that doesnt mean demotion.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -

Or simply that your colleague / assistant / whatever has been promoted?0 -

Its not a demotion as such but I certainly would be questioning my own position when someone is clearly not happy with my management.0

They're not your personal property you know.
