Sorry bud, You're probably getting fired. Happened to me last year. Me and my colleague were asked to do that. A month later we were gone.

I'd advise to write up detailed description, but wait until Monday to submit. That way you can speak with new boss in person for reasoning.

Strike that, I just looked at your last post. Figure out how how your job overlaps some core company function, or project of his.

Preferably several areas if possible, and in ways that impact company revenue generation or retention.
