The manager keeps messing with me about layoffs, due to title work is slow now.(I do title work, from my home for a company) then the next week she talked about re-arranging my route( taking some counties away and giving them to someone else)so they don't have to pay my vehicle expenses. I told her if they are still laying off I am interested, so she calls me the next day and asked if I could meet with her. I go into the office, she goes into the owners office, and starts asking me if I am still interested in being layed off, I said yes, due to the reasons, of possible paycuts, no sick leave, no vehicle pay. I advised her let me know if it is effective the next day or by end of month. So she calls me the next day Friday, and said would I be interest in taking a another guys position in the office( he quit and gave his 2 weeks notice) I would work every other day in the office and work from your house every other day, I told her I would have to think about it and talk to her on Monday. I called her on Monday, and said I was not interested in coming into the office, If anything I want to resume working in the field from my home, well she said I am not doing any layoffs now, this is the job I have, take it or leave it basically. First of all, I have been working from my home for 3 years now, granted when she became manager about year and half ago, she has been trying to get me back in the office, and rearranging my route on the road, It sounds now she is trying to make me quit instead of laying me off. In the past, I would drop off work and overhear them talking about trying to get employees to quit instead of firing them, because they don't want them to collect unemployment benefits, because there rates go up. She did call me again last week and cursed at me for not meeting her @ 6:30pm to pick up some documents. I told her I've been working since 7:30am I can't come meet her. Do I have any legal rights? Can I take a verbal layoff, or does it have to be in writing, I did not agree to work in the office, I did agree to a verbal layoff, before she demanded I come in and work in the office.
