In the UK, what, if anything, can a company do if they want to redefine a position altogether?
If you are genuinely redefining the position so the existing job will no longer exist then you can make the employee redundant (you have to pay at least the statutory redundancy pay, which depends on length of service).
Like, say, if you have two offices that combine into one big office?
Yes, that would generally result in genuine redundancies.
And, of course, is exactly what the Wikimedia Foundation just did.
