As of now, I’m on FMLA. As a department lead, I was led to believe that I would return to my role after my leave. My direct manager recently announced in a group meeting before I left that my supervisor role would be opened the day I return to the office, she noted that she is moving in a different direction. I have notified HR. However, no response. Is this legal?

FMLA dictates they have to move you to your same previous role of a role similar with no reduction in pay. I just returned from FMLA so a bit familiar with it. But they do have to notify you directly about any changes to your scope of work if that happens.

It's legal as long as you're still returning to a similar role with no loss in compensation. HR will put you somewhere else that makes the same amount, and someone else will take your position. It is perfectly legal as far as I'm aware, but I would reach out to HR again to see where you're going to land.

Yep, looks like others have already covered it: your role may change, but your pay must remain at least the same. If your role is a demotion or affects your career trajectory, there isn't legal recourse, but if I were you I'd come prepared to negotiate for something in line with your goals in case they do that.

I’ve been working at a rather prestigious midsized firm in a big city for almost a year and a half now. I have been having a lot of trouble picking up work from senior partners. We are required to bill at least 150 hours per month to meet our requirement. My months are typically only 110-130 hours. It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
