What is the name of your state? New York
A few months ago I was desperate for a job. I have a recent background in Web Design and a previous career in electronics. a few months ago the only job I could find was a job in electronics. so I applied. during the interview they mentioned that they had already selected a candidate for the job but would hire me instead if I agreed to "help them" rebuild their website. like I mentioned, I was desperate for work so I agreed. since then I am working for them almost full time as a Web Designer, there was no "helping" I've had to do the entire thing myself. anyway, their site is as complete as it's gonna get and now they are telling me I have to build a multimedia presentation for marketing and also expand the website so customers can order through it and track their orders. they have made it known indirectly that I will be fired if I discontinue the IT work.
I'm getting paid $28,000 for work that should be earning me at least $68,000. I'm tired of it and I just want to do the electronics work but I'm afraid of being fired when I tell them.
can they fire me for this?
