    The reality of this situation is that you don't fancy the job that they have offered you as an alternative
    , but that's no base for legal action. Take the job and look for another one. Worst case scenario, you get some different experience and then a new job that you want without losing out financially. If you try and sue them, wave goodbye to your reference, which after 6 years is gonna look pretyy suspect to a new employer....

    no the reality of the situation is he's ASKED if i'd like to go for another job and i THINK that he wants rid of me so he doesn't have to pay me redundancy. its not another job offer so if i turn down the opportunity to apply is won't affect my redundancy package.

    and no, i wouldn't sue them anyway. it's such a small industry it wouldn't go down well.

    i haven't applied, i haven't contacted them at all regarding this......strange :?

    I'm supposed to be in an interview now, but decided not to go after they changed the job to
    include Middlesborough amongst the sites in East Anglia they wanted me to look after. FFS.
    If they did that it means they don't want you :D

    Middlesborough isnt in East Anglia ?

    Congratulations, you have a better grasp of geography than many potential employers in the property sector.

    Hmm, it appears they are trying to make the decision for you. Personally I'd run with it whilst times are like they are, but use it as a safety net whilst you look elsewhere perhaps?
