If you are approached find out what the reason is for whatever action they take. Don't assume that going "back to doing calls" is a demotion or less money. Unless they tell you it's less money, it could be the same or more money. You won't know until you try.
Never quit, unless you already have another job lined up. Quitting may be he worst thing you can do. Constructive discharge, being forced to quit, is tough to prove as well.
You are in Florida. We don't have enough information to determine whether you have sufficient contacts - by contract, function, organization, etc... to have New York's laws possibly provide you with more rights than you do in Florida. New York Courts have stated that the public policy of Florida is repulsive to New York's. In comparison to New York, Florida is not favorable for employees but then many who relocate there no longer work so what concern would it be of theirs? I practiced in Florida for 16 years. No regrets in returning north.
Until there is adverse employment action against you all you can do is keeping doing your job to the best of your ability.
Saving money is not illegal unless the company hires females, who traditionally earn less, to replace males. Or uses money as a disguise for age discrimination, or other discrimination.
Pay attention.
Listen carefully.
Take notes.
Watch what happens to others. Is the company targeting protected classes of workers? Oder, disabled, male or female, etc...?
If it's age, it has to be a "but for age" an employee would still be working.
If it's just saving money, that may not be illegal?
Are you an "at will" employee like most people are? No written contract, no union, not working for the government then probably yes. They need no reason to terminate you. You will have the burden of proving it was an unlawful reason. Your notes, performance evaluations, documents will be key.
If you are offered a severance package (no company is required to offer one unless by contract) pay an employment lawyer to go over it with you before you sign it. Some of us do that long distance nowadays. I seem to represent more and more employees who I never personally meet. The legal landscape is changing rapidly as are most people's jobs.
