I have recently been employed as a manager of a boutique. With the contract signed, stated that termation of employment should be given 1 month notice by either party. After 2 weeks, she hired another person to replace my position and offered me a different position with lesser salary and wanted to redo the agreement she gave to me. But isn't it stated that she should give me 1 month notice? I understand that she wants the best person to run the business coz I had owned a boutique before, but I think this is unprofessional.

I think I'll quit soon. But I'm more professional than her... I'll give her 1 month notice.

Tell her you want to keep the salary. And that you want to keep the current position for one month as stipulated in the contract.
Up to you whether you accept the "demotion", or so to speak. Personally, it would depend on the company, new position, etc.

Very unprofessional and rude. This lady obviously does not have a lot of experience with running a business. She may want the best person to run the business but if she wasn't sure of your abilities when she hired you than she shouldn't have hired you! Obviously you were the most suitable for the job at the beginning. Why aren't you now? Maybe she has a personal vendetta...or maybe she just doesn't understand the meaning of common sense or kindness.
Read your contract though. Yes, even the fine lines. If it says that she can demote your pay and job title on a trial period than she can.
If not, don't let her...and don't sign any more contracts with her.
Time to give her your one month notice and moooove on to bigger and better things. And people who wont be rude!
Good luck!

Definitely. This is extremely unprofessional and rude. As the contract stated that you should give each other 1 months' notice, it means exactly that! However, read the contract carefully, it may say that you are on a trial period, in which case sometimes it can be a shorter period of time.
Good luck and I hope you work things out.

so read the contract.. if it stipulates that they have the right to terminate it with no notice.. then u can complain... if it say that u will be given due notice but they didn't abide by this.. then u can complain.. u have every right to do so
