Hi everyone. This is is my current situation and I'm simply looking for advice from anyone who might have gone through something similar.
I'm in Illinois. I am a nightshift supervisor. My employer wants to add a dayshift to my department and wants me to take on the added responsibilities without a pay increase or additional support such as a lead.
I have already told them I can't because I'm dealing with a lot lately. My wife and I just had a child, she's going back to work, and her father is terminally ill.
Can I get demoted or fired for saying “no” due to not being in a healthy state of mind for the added responsibilities?
