This is a follow on question to the previous answer about amending Employment Contracts ... DCH

Further to previous correspondence I had a meeting with 3 of the 4 directors to discuss my concerns. I was informed that they had undertaken a staffing review and felt that my role as Project Manager/Bid Writer was no longer appropriate as they had offered a position to a member of staff who resigned 2 weeks ago as an Executive Manager, to whom I would now answer.

My role would be reduced to 10 hours Bid writer and 27.5 hrs IT Facilitator, this has resulted in me being offered a salary cut of £6K per year.

This new postion was never advertised and therefore I was never given an opportunity to apply for the post, also the person now in this post has no managerial experience, is not appropriately qualified and yet I who have 20 years experience of Community education now have to answer to this person. I may sound a little bitter but feel that this is going some way to forcing me in to leaving.

Our Administrator/Centre Manager was informed that her role had also changed and that she would be reduced to 20 hours per week and her hourly rate cut from £8 per hour to £6.50 per hour. She has asked for redundancy as this was a salary drop of more than £10K per year.

The Accountant spent this afternoon with myself discussing the next 12 months funding and we agreed that there was sufficient money to operate as we where, until this Executive Position was dropped on me.

Please advise as although I cannot afford to resign I now feel my position is untenable?
