A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

  1. For those companies receiving taxpayer money, layoffs must be voluntary, not compulsory, as is already the case for many white-collar employees.

Companies can simply do a soft layoff by making working conditions worse (e.g. declaring a work-in-office mandate when working-from-home has been the norm)

Always wondered if these could/should be considered constructive dismissal

At least where I am, significant changes in your job are grounds for constructive dismissal.

Unless like, you want the changes.
