My position was changed to a completely unrelated position without a signed contract. This has resulted in overwhelming stress as I had lost all job security when my status was changed to "casual" staff. Be careful with the titles and always demand a signed agreement with the TDSB as you should not trust management for their word. If there is mention of your position changing, ensure to ask as many questions about your responsibilities and benefits to ensure no foul play. If there is any detail missing from a written document do not sign and look elsewhere.
