Work Changes (Part I)

[Champagne]

Can a full-time employee be replaced by another person while they are actively in role?

An Executive Assistant at work has been in role for 2.5 years with a solid performance. Her boss recently told her that she would be moved to supporting one of his new direct reports, and that her position would be given to another E.A. She was not consulted on this change and her boss has now removed any calendar/inbox access and given it to his new E.A. Is this allowed?

Are there any changes to your base, work T and C or salary? If its just doing the same job for someone else, then yes it can be done. As I understand it from your other post, it is your current boss whose role has changed and you have no change, just supporting someone else.

Hi Woofgang. Thanks for taking the time to answer. For this question (part I) it is a different colleague and her boss has not changed role. He simply decided he needed a different Executive Assistant to support him and passed his current E.A. of 2.5 years into someone else. There are no changes in pay, work location, hours etc. Good to know that this can be done at any time. I’ll pass this information onto her.

‘Part II’ question is indeed about me, although slightly different circumstances.

If the boss got sacked or decided to leave would the ea also expect to have to leave or get sacked?
