I worked for my boyfriend, yesterday I walked into my office and was confronted by the sales manager,saying that I had three days to prove that I can do the job or I would be put into a different role. I told the sales manager that if that was to happen I would quit the job. I spoke to my boyfriend (boss) and he said it was the sales managers decision. My sales manager was not impressed that I had spoken to my boss and said "get your stuff and go" I again rang my boyfriend and he wouldn't support me and said I needed to speak to my manager. I pleaded not to take my job away from me, he said I need to think about it, give me half an hour. I waited and he came back in and said you have to do sales (the role I said I would quit to)

Where do you live... as in what country or state.

If you are an "AT WILL" employee in the united states... generally they don't need a reason to fire you.

This is one of the problems of working for or with family or friends. Inevitibly you have a case of something happening where the rules would be different between you and other regular employees.

However based on your use of "Solicitor" I am guessing you do not reside in the USA or its territories. So the laws and codes are likely to be different.

This is not a Small Claims question.
I am not a solicitor.
I see no labor claim you could make. No discrimination based on race, creed, origin, gender, or age.
You didn't meet sales expectations, were told you had 3 days or would be GIVEN a different job (!) and you basically quit based on that if, tried to go behind his back, came back and changed your mind - no case, sorry.

Strange, I don't see the word "solicitor" in the text of OP's question. But she did say "i again rang my boyfriend", which suggests the same conclusion. In the U.S. one would say "I again called my boyfriend ".

The thread was edited AFTER I answered it (and the word was removed) The "Problems at work" is what changed from the original... I should have quoted the thread. But the term was originally in it.

I figured it was something like that. Until OP remembers she asked this question, and returns to this thread, we have nothing to do here other than conduct a pointless forensic examination of syntax. :)
