A demotion is a step down in rank or job title for an employee. Usually a demotion means a loss in pay, benefits, and company privileges. Many employers use demotions in an attempt to keep an employee in the company.

I understand the at will part. I believe that on Monday I will either be fired or he will try to demote me. I just wanted to know that if I reject the demotion, Can I be fired?
