More details to this question:
I have been with this company for 11 years and worked my way up to asst. manager. Now they are renaming the position and i am taking an extreme pay cut. They had me apply for my position that I have been doing for 7 years and told me I did not make it. And they are giving me 24 hours to decide to stay or go I do not know if this is because of my age i am 52 . But i have worked very hard for this company and took on alot of responsibility. If i was not capable of doing the job why have i been there so long.

In North Carolina, any employment action is legal unless the employee can show it was motivated by unlawful discrimination or unlawful retaliation. Age discrimination is unlawful, but you will need evidence that your age was what motivated the company to do what it did.
Age discrimination cases must be filed first with the EEOC within 180 days of the adverse action. If you want to move forward on a discrimination claim, don't let that deadline expire.
