I need some fast advice on how to keep my Boss from replacing me.?

My situation is very dier. I have worked for the same company for 5 years. I was recruited for this very high paying position.

When first employed I had major benefits, a home with a very LOW monthly rental, utilities paid, and a great job on top of that.

The company was sold a year ago with very little change.

Today I was told I would have to perform general lawn maintenance, equipment repair and constrution work if I wanted to keep living in my home and stay employed.

This is NOT what I was hired to do. Should I learn to do this? I am female, single and have a 2 year old child.

I am to respond to their "proposal" in one week. Please help!!!

    Do the job given to you with full confidence and zero error. at the same time, try to find a job of your liking. Remember when you have no alternate solution in hand, you have to work which is not your job. Ttry to take interest in the job even though it is not your job. In spare time, try to learn other jobs in the same company so that the company will feel you are important asset for the company. And in future you will get an opportunity to get work of your choice. Nowadays it is very difficult to get jobs quickly particularly when you are jobless.

    Accept the changes to your job title and continue working. In your free time, look for other jobs. In interviews, you can tell potential employers that you're adaptable and flexible, but have found that you're not passionate about lawn maintenance and want to continue working in your original field. This turns a negative into a positive!

    the new employer's offer seems to indirectly tells you to quit. if you are really good being the reason the previous employer hired you then for sure you can easily get the same high paying job in other companies.

    what if you can not respond to their proposal after a week ? they will fire you ? if they do, there must be a labor law that says you should be compensated.

    Hmmm... you're really quite attractive... where are you? Come to my place if you're "put out"... I've got room for you and your child and there are many jobs available where I live! Perhaps we could become lovers...

    I think you should do it, until you find another job, don't just quit. Start looking for another job. What exactly do you do that they want you to do those stuff too?
