What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
I was just informed this morning by my manager that he is planning on demoting me. He wants me to continue in my current position until January 1so that I can train my replacement. He is demoting me from Sales Manager to a Sales Rep position, which will be about a 15-20% drop in pay.
The fact that I have never received any kind of performance warnings has me feeling that the demotion is very unfair, but being an 'At Will' employee, I don't believe it's unlawful.
I am planning on giving him my decision soon, but would like to know if there is any chance for unemployment benefits if I decline a demotion.
