Sorry to hear about your bad news, Nocode. I guess if you do take the demotion to ensure that you have a job, could you also job hunt at the same time for a position you really want somewhere else? Or maybe your current job will eventually promote you again? I know things will work out in the long run for you (maybe there is a job in store for you where you will be happier)!!! \:\) Karen
