A scary case that my team recently resolved involved a Marketing specialist in Vancouver whose employment was dismissed shortly after defer a demotion.
The person received a phone call from his manager – informing him that he was transferred to the role of “marketing assistant” as part of “organizational restructuring”.
After taking a moment to treat the update, the marketing specialist politely opposed the demotion and asked his boss if “other concessions” could be explored.
Three hours later, she received another call from her manager – noting her that she was let go without dismissal allowance.
Resistant to the desire to attack her boss, the marketing specialist asked why it happened. Her manager told her that she “should have taken one for the team” before hanging up suddenly.
Some were entitled to compensation, the marketing specialist erased his office and contacted Samfiru Tumarkin LLP as soon as she returned home.
Given the strength of his case, we were able to obtain a set of complete layoffs for our client via a Unjustified dismissal complaint.
