I have had this anxiety since I started this job - it will very nearly be a year. I am pretty sure it becomes a disability if you suffer with it more than 12 months under the equality act?0 -
unfortunately an EO grade and above is a mobile grade, which means they can move you about either departments or locations to suit business requirements0

I understand that, but i have never had the original role i applied for , for them to move me around?
Surely some form of notice would have to be given for this too?
You cant just dupe somebody into a job, then post them elsewhere without even telling them!0 -

Look up the definition of a disability under the EqAct and consider if you meet it, then consider how you feel you are being discriminated against - you're not.
You are being very naive about this. You need to find a way to get on with your job or find something else. You were not offered the other job - you have no legal recourse.0 -

I think they can because officially you don't really have a job role on your contract only a grade, Ive been moved 3 times in 18 months each time I basically got told a day before.0 -

I think if you were in my position you would feel very different.
I find it hard to believe that advertising a post and then placing a candidate in a completely different role is actually legal?
Surely thats some sort of mis-advertisement of post?
Luckily i am in a trade union and in the process of gaining legal advice.0 -
