Serving notice: demoted and told when to take lunch!

Undervalued

The company is an REC member - although not sure if that would allow me access to them. It might worth looking at the cost of joining though.

Sinxe I originally posted I have been demoted further, with I real reason as I have been recording 70 calls a day as a Consultant. I am now Resourcing on another completely new division on the behalf of other Consultants, meaning that I am now working for people who I was previously superior to. The new role consists of headhunting people at work all day. There is also no commission scheme in place as there was previously.

I have consulted my lawyer who states that he shouldn't be allowed to do this as it is no "reasonable", but of course his lawyer disagrees and he got annoyed when I told him what my lawyer had said. He said that if I refuse work then he will take me down the disciplinary route of which I don't really have any knowledge of the implications and whether he could actually sack me successfully or not because my role and status has changed so much.

At the moment I'm doing the work but wondering about what would happen if I started to refuse on the basis that the work I am doing is normally done my work from home temps not company Directors!!

He has also said he will take me down the disciplinary route if I don't take my lunch at 12noon every day. I guess this is the treatment you get for being the company's highest billing Consultant 3 years running!

OK, assuming your lawyer is right and the employer's is wrong (or being misrepresented) what realistic, cost effective remedy did your lawyer propose?

It is all very nice being in the "right" but completely irrelevant unless you can actually do something about it.
