Hello,
My company has gone through lay offs and restructuring. They are now having everyone sign an updated job description. I have volunteered to be laid off if there are budget cuts and have requested for equal severance from the previous lay off but has been denied. I was asked to still take on the new role temporarily with a fixed termination date.
If I do not want to take the temporary role and refuse to sign into this temporary role, is this considered a resignation on my part (employee terminating at will) or employer termination (fire)?
I was hoping that it can be employer termination so that it would help me qualify for unemployment?
Thank you in advance,
Mike
