Constructive dismissal
(n.)
Of an employer, to behave so abysmally to an an employee as to destroy the sacred relationship between master and servant such that the servant feels she has no choice but to resign, such that the employee can be said to effectively have dismissed her.

One of the great bogeys of the human resources canon. Any suggestion a line manager might make to speak candidly to any of her team presents a “risk of constructive dismissal” and will be stomped on.
