The extent of your pay cut. Your new job responsibilities.
If you feel you will not be able to remain professional due to your emotions, ask your boss for half-day leave or a day off to process, but be prepared to do the best you can if they deny your request.
It is unwise to discuss the details with co-workers, as it can place both them, and you, in uncomfortable or compromising positions.
Just to be on the safe side, keep the documentation on a home computer or flash drive, not on your work computer.
A chance to work with new people on new projects. The chance to grow by developing new skill sets. Less responsibilities, therefore less stress. The possibility of having more time to spend with family. Freedom from difficult co-workers or a toxic environment.
You truly believe that the demotion is unjust due to misinformation. You have evidence that the demotion is directly due to discrimination of some sort from the supervisor demoting you. You want the chance to challenge the decision and plead your case.
Your company lacks any avenue to address worker grievances. A badly handled appeal process resulted in a rejection of your claim. You feel you cannot get a fair hearing due to internal prejudice.
Being discreet is important, as announcing the fact that you are looking at other jobs will give the impression that you don’t respect your current company and aren’t likely to be working to the best of your abilities.
Don’t bring your work worries home with you. Keep friends and family close. Have fun.
