Current Employment Advice and Guidance Preventing an Employment Dispute – Senior Manager
“I am writing further to my meeting with Ron Minken on August 16th. I met Ron to discuss a potential constructive dismissal situation at work. Ron provided me with objective advice that helped me to see that the best thing for me to do was to keep a positive attitude at work and use the time I had remaining with my current job to find other employment opportunities. I took the situation at work very personally because I had built the department from a couple of people to its present size. There were a lot of personality conflicts and I felt that someone was intentionally trying to limit my career at work. Ron helped me to see that there may have been things I said that could have contributed to this person’s insecurities and that in his experience, most of these situations amount to misunderstandings. This helped me to reflect on changes I can make to improve my own situation at work.
I have since met with the owner of the company and he was able to clarify that the move was not a demotion. It was an effort to ‘shake things up’ and move resources around. As a result of my discussion with the owner, I have now been given a larger and more exciting mandate at work.
Please extend my thanks to Ron for his thoughtful and very helpful professional advice.” – A.M.
