<prompt> Human: My boss told me others in my position are being laid off but not me. Probably because they have a higher salary due to seniority Is there any way I can take advantage of this? I dont know if they will have to fire and rehire me or just change my job title. It will most likely be a complete change of work hours and duties. Any advice?  <response>: Financially speaking, if you have lead time make sure youre working on your emergency fund. I know your boss said you wont get laid off, but it doesnt hurt to prepare anyway. I would not make any big purchases until youre settled in your new position. Regarding advice for your new position, try to see if you can figure out what youll be doing. If your hours and duties are changing, you may not like it. In which case you might want to get your resume in order. As for whether or not its a simple title change or a firerehire, its probably the former. Your boss should know though, and that might be a good question to ask. You mention lower salary being the reason youre likely not being let go. If thats the case, I dont know that you can take advantage here. Be prepared for the idea that you might be actually way underpaid for the new work youll be doing.
