Is it paid leave? Press for that - some form of compensation. Or a good severance package above and beyond the norm. Alternate strategy: Start looking for new work now, and let them put you in for lay-off (which may also have lucrative severance.) Just get out before they lay you off so you don't have to worry about the *hole giving you a bad recommendation in this case.





But move on.





Do you really want to be working for someone who'd do that? It would be nice to get justice, or compensation, but dollars to doughnuts you'd never be able to prove it in a court of law.

It's going to be your opinion against his. He'll claim he's moving you for performance related reasons, or something along those lines. Plus, if HR supports him there's not much you can do internally.





If you don't want to get a lawyer consider this. If he's going to play hardball you can too. I'm sure his wife would be very interested in your information.
Getting legal advice would be an option. Many attorneys will give you a free consultation.
