My boss is making me redundant. Read my story.?

I am an accountant (29 yrs old ) with a middle sized firm reporting to one senior finance manager and with one junior accountant under me. I hold full CPA qualifications, has a Bcom (finance) degree and an MBA (strategic management). My senior has CPA and undergraduate in Business management. Since i took up the MBA course, my boss changed his attitudes towards me. He has been "by-passing" me on all issues instead willing to share with my assistant though we are in the same office. Recently we agreed to streamline our workflows and so we agreed on more delegation and training. I went ahead and delegated most of day-to-day work to my assistant hoping that my senior would release some of his tasks and responsibilties. i was shocked since he never did so. I feel in a vacuum, more of a "just be there and earn a salary guy" than adding value. I feel this is a deliberate move to lock meout , hijack all projects and portray me as Redundant to my directors. What should i do now? Thanks

He is threatened by you. I agree that you need to discuss this with your HR person from a constructive point of view. "Now that I've earned my MBA, I feel that we should revisit my career path to put my new skills to work to to the best advantage." Sometimes HR won't take the initiative to do this because they're busy with other things...you will need to champion this one yourself. He sounds like he's definitely threatened that you'll take his job. If anything, take a moment to assure him this is not the case and maybe he'll take a friendlier attitude.

Talk to your HR person about it. This sort of behaviour can be construed as constructive dismissal (whereby instead of being sacked you a forced to quit by them making your working situation untenable) and it's illegal. If it continues, you could take the person to a tribunal. Personally, I think try and resolve the situation before it gets to that stage. Good luck.

Redundancy is a fact of life. sorry but it is true.

When someone is made redundant it is the JOB not the person that is being targeted.

Obviously you are in a position that is no longer needed and the tactics that are being used are designed to make you leave so you do not have to be paid out the same if made redundant.

Go to your boss and make him and offer to accept a redundancy and see what he says.

If your quals are valid you would have no trouble getting another position so I do not know what you are stressing about.

Take the redundancy and take a holiday .........then come back refreshed ready to take on the challenge of a new job.
