[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like it might be retaliation to me - she reported a sexual harasser and they demoted the quality of her work.  I don't think it matters if it is the same pay/title, if she is doing admin work and not substantive work, it hurts her career and the ability to move up. You may want to find an employment lawyer and do a consult.  [/quote]

They didn't demote her, though. She has the same title and pay. There's absolutely no case here. If her old work was important, then it needed to be reassigned when she was out on leave. [/quote]

Why can’t they reassign it back to me when I return?

It depends. For example, if you were an attorney, you might have been working on a case that is going to trial soon. It was reassigned to another attorney while you were on leave. It makes sense that when you return, that attorney who knows the case continues with the trial schedule for next month, instead of you scrambling to catch up. However, I would expect that the firm would give you similar, substantive work, with a client who is in the earlier stages of their case. That would be fine. What would not be fine would be reassigning you to ordering ink and paper for the copy machine.

Or if you are a scientist, working on an experiment, the experiment was given to someone else, and they complete it, while they assign you a different, but similar, experiment. But they should not reassign you to ordering supplies and cleaning up the lab.

If you are the person who has posted here before who also hurt themselves on the job after this incident and then went on admin leave (I am sorry if you don't know what I am talking about), there might be specific equipment they don't want you using for liability reasons, but still, talk to them about any limitations with the work still being substantive.
