So what do you do if they tell you they are giving you leave without pay? How do you get around that one? I know someone who is being put in that situation. Any advice would be helpful.
I used to work for the federal gov and heard stories about assigning people they wanted to get rid of to crap jobs so they would quit rather than be fired. Some people spent years or even decades driving buses around or maintaining government vehicles rather than give in.
That's called constructive dismissal. The same as dismissal in the eyes of most lawyers. Harder to prove with a "bad, boring task" but unpaid leave is very clear.

Leave without pay? That means you force their hand with a termination letter so you can sue for unlawful termination.
Lawyer up.
That's the thing...they aren't firing you.
