My position in sales, growing existing accounts with my company, is being eliminated in October. I either take a bit of a pay cut to do something really similar but more stable on the service side, or move to new business (which is not attractive to me), or I find something new. Is it fair they are having me interview just to basically keep my position after 7 years of doing it successfully meeting targets? Or is it time for me to look elsewhere?

Wait, you're being laid off, and you have to interview to land a worse position within the same company? LOL

It's probably time to move on. After 7 years you're probably underpaid anyway.

Its very typical when you stay at one place too long without a promotion or position change of some sort. Gotta get back out into the market to see your true value.

Not sure what you're being paid but with that kind of experience you can make pretty solid money if you take the next three months finding something better. Seems like a no brainer to me!

Are you interviewing for one of the new roles you mentioned? If so, then yes, that's normal. It's probably more of a formality to give the manager a chance to get to know you and see if you'd be a good fit.

What company are you working for? Definitely start looking for something new

I think you can do both. No harm in searching for better opportunities. Give the interview as back up plan, no point in putting yourself at risk of unemployment.

That is pretty standard. I don't think it is fair at all but I have seen it happen many times.
