I just walked into work today and was told my position has been eliminated. They immediately shuttered me into a new position, which I cannot do long term as I have a knee injury. They gave me the option of leaving after three weeks while I look for a new job, or just taking this new position, which they've already given to me. I'm assuming in this scenario I can do a third option that they didn't mention, which is collect unemployment, since my precious position was eliminated. Is that correct–can I collect unemployment in this scenario, and is that the choice I should probably make? Or will I be burning bridges by doing so instead of taking their three week offer? Or, did I already nullify the unemployment since I've already been doing this job for a few hours? Either way, they gave me no time to decide, they told me they need to know today and I basically have a couple more hours to make my decision. Please help!
