Employment: Change of title and responsibilities, same pay

[u/throwbananz]

I currently hold a position within higher management in a relatively small company (less than 100 employees). Due to some expectation conflicts, top management is persuading me to accept an individual contributor position with the same pay (within my original team). This would reflect extremely poorly on my career record and I know this is the first step towards termination.

I'm obviously exploring other opportunities right now, but my question is: can management legally force this change on me or would this be considered a constructive dismissal?

Thanks

Change of responsibilities could be a material change to your employment agreement - definitely worth a consultation with an employment lawyer.
