I was hired as an executive secretary to the Vice President of Finance. My boss has resigned and now I am sitting in the hot seat. I was told I would take on duties as a PHO Coordinator (another position from which the individual resigned recently) at the rate of $1.68 per hour (the previous person received $55,000 per year for the same duties I would be doing). I turned this offer down, but then was told it was not an offer, it is an order and I have no choice. I was moved out of my old department and am now in a different building, in a completely different department playing gopher to all individuals above me. This was not the position I applied for when I took on this job. I tried to transfer to a separate entity within the organization, however, a call from the CEO put an end to that as he said I "have an attitude problem." I have never had an attitude problem with any company I have worked for. My evaluations have always been outstanding. My questions are: Do I have to accept all these extra duties assigned to me, even though they have absolutely nothing to do with the job I was originally hired for? Is it considered defamation that the CEO called and lost me a job opportunity? Shouldn't I receive more than $1.68/hour for doing the same duties as the previous PHO person?
I have also recently been told that I may have to take a pay cut since the job I applied for is now gone and I am not considered an "Executive Secretary" anymore. Is there anything that can be done about this situation?
