More details to this question:
My company began lay offs today because our work contract has changed and been downsized. Without my knowledge, they submitted my name in their response to the contract to do community outreach work. Now they're telling me that if I don't want the position then I just have to quit unlike my fellow employees who were laid off today and received severance packages. I'm upset that I wasn't allowed to even know I was being put in for a position I don't want and am not qualified to do but if I quite I won't be able to receive unemployment.

in a positive fashion, put down all that occurred in an email so that you have a written record. you may want to ask the employer in writing about a plan which helps you to succeed. i would work with the employer and keep a record. ed dimon, esq.
