RIF'd; rehired at lesser position/less pay; no chg in responsibilities
During a company-wide RIF in Sept. of 2001 I was advised that my position had been eliminated. My boss advised me that they did have a lesser position available at reduced requirements and a reduced salary (2/3 of my then salary). They did not want to lose me..did I want the lesser job? I accepted. Six months later, my job expectations and performance criteria are no different than they were before the 'elimination' of my job. In fact, responsibilities continue to increase..my current salary has not increased. Can an employer eliminate your job position; rehire you at what is presented as a lesser position without changing job expectations?
