My employer has just informed me that the business will be relocating to a different city in the Netherlands. I'm also planning to move house soon, which will mean that the commute to the office will be significantly longer. Unfortunately, I have to be in the office on a daily basis so can't even work from home. I have discussed my concern with my manager and she has now asked me to think this through carefully and whether this will be ok for me going forward or if it will cause issues for myself and the company. I have a feeling that she implies that I can either accept the change or resign - can my employer do this?

At this point in time you're either getting fired for not turning up to work or you can resign and not have a mark on your employment history.
