Is it legal for my company to hire someone for my job at a lower salary and fire me? How can I prepare if I suspect I may be let go? #jobsecurity #employeerights #workplaceconcerns #joboptions

Obviously you never know for sure but it could just be another open position. Keep your eyes and ears open though for any related chatter. Keep your resume updated and if you’re feeling particularly insecure then start applying to jobs.
I was in the same situation once. Wasn’t very happy with it. Then after some time the first candidates appeared and my boss asked me to help interview them. I thought… wtf?!
But it turned out to be just an extra colleague 😅 But at about 30% less pay than me. Wish they would have told me though.
Always when you think you could be near the chopping block, start fixing up your resume now and looking on indeed to see how the job market is. Better prepared you are the less time it can take to get a new job. Think about who to ask for references. Just be mentally Ready and don’t panic or burn the bridge IF you do get fired. Check into unemployment so if it happens you can file on day one. Get your ducks in a row. best case nothing happens
Whether it’s legal or not is 100% dependant on where you are what the job is. In my state in the USA they can do this and worse and nothing stopping them.
Leaving your company is always an option. And you are not being “fired” as that involves a negative connotation.
Layed off is they can’t afford to pay you.
This seems like they are replacing you. Even if you have to train the new hire before they let you go, don’t quit so you can file unemployment. Start looking and applying for jobs now. Similar thing happened to me.
Stop wondering and ask what’s up. And also be looking for another job.
Maybe you’re getting promoted and you’re training your replacement?
