I am having a problem with someone at my work who Is talking behind my back, and requested to have my hours as she needs them. (I also cross trained her.) She had other options, but decided that what was available was BELOW her. I walked in on two conversations, and my supervisor told me about everything themselves as well as fellow co-workers letting me know about what she has been doing.
I have now been given two weeks and I will then be terminated so that she can have my position and hours. There resoning is because she has a child. They told me that I am and incredible worker, but that she needs the hours more than I. She has been there longer than myself, but only by a month. I'm not trying to compete with sob stories, but Things are horrible for my husband and I right now.
The other option that I was told is I could move from my administration position of over 14 years experience (she only has about 5 months experience) to a cleaning position (her former job) and a pay cut to minimum wage. (I would rather take the first option of being let go so that I can collect unemployment until I can get another job. I'm not sure if I should try and hold on, or just quit? P.S. I love my job and it's the field that I am trying to get further into. (link)

I didn't know how to add to my question, but I wanted to let everyone know that I did report my employer, and it looks like they have done this before. They have also been in trouble for this before. I was verry lucky to bring this to their attention. Of course they did decide not to let me go and they did keep me on. HOWEVER; they did cut me back to only one day a week and was not verry abliging to me at all. I have since found an even better job and it's one that I have done well in for almost a year now. Part of me felt like I gave in to them, but the other part of me was proud of how I handled the situation. I am still VERY good friends with my old co-workers from there. Many of them are now life long friends. It was only one co-worker and the management/owner there that I had issues with and I kept it there and I did report the situation as my thoes of you who gave me advice. I am sad as I did like the job overall, however; it was difficult to be in that environment from day to day. I hope to only continue as well as I have in my current job that I have been in for almost a year now.
Thank you to everyone, and I am calling this a success story!
