You Are Fired! What You Need To Know About Constructive Dismissal

"You're fired!" is an exclamation popularly associated to a situation whereby an employer informs his or her employee of the employee's dismissal or termination from the company. Of course, knowing that you have been dismissed is never a good feeling and you may feel lost. However, your employer may feel the same way too as they will be put in an unpleasant situation when breaking such news to you. Hence, it is not uncommon for an employer to persuade someone into resigning rather than having to utter the words "you're fired".

Hypothetically, in what ways can your employer force you to quit? The most common answer is by making your life at your work place so miserable that you feel compelled to quit; for example, shifting your location of employment, changing your job scope, demoting you or reducing your monthly salary.
