Hi,

Recently my boss (ops Manager) who has a national role has left and his position has not been replaced and we have been told (informally) we are now reporting to the National GM. My role is a site specific manager role but I am now getting handed duties that my previous boss (ops Manager) was doing including some nationally focussed duties. What are my rights here? I am happy in my current role (and do a very good job) and I don't seek a higher position as I have young kids and know that I can't dedicate more time or energy yet. Can I refuse these requests to join meetings that my old boss used to attend and take on national projects? I'm feeling a bit confused and frustrated with this to be honest but want to know where I stand before rocking the boat and declaring my 'non availability'.
