Shortly after this John told me that he was not confident in me running the store and that I should consider demoting myself. He stated that I made too many mistakes and if I decided not to demote myself then he would sit down and document it.

farmi/mettermi da parte
Possibile idea.
Tipo "dimettermi", ma credo qui non sia il caso.

ricoprire un incarico di minore importanza
Nonostante il poco contesto, una soluzione possibile potrebbe essere quella di trasmettere l'idea di 'declassamento' o 'retrocessione' con una parafrasi.

autodegradarmi / autoretrocedere
Prediligo una soluzione più breve utilizzando il prefissoide 'auto-' per renderre il pron. riflessivo 'myself'. Allo stesso tempo credo sia una soluzione che vada a rispecchiare la 'vaghezza' del testo di partenza, non si deduce dal contesto messo a disposizione se il datore di lavoro mira a licenziarlo o seplicemente a 'svilirlo' 'sminuendolo'.
