The interview was a pack of lies!?
Question:
Answer:
That's a tough situation to be in and yes I do understand the anger and fustration, but as you said how would your suing the current employers look to future employers and plus you are still young and very qualified so why not try applying for another job maybe in the same area or even do something else parttime so that you can make the money to move back home. Hey I left a well paying job recently as I was promised a better paying job only to be told that they changed their minds and so here I am a university graduate working at a call centre making minimum wage. So sometimes when life hands you lemons hey make lemonade with it, you never know, there may be much better in store for you somewhere else and you will look back at this and just smile.
I am really for you. You were obviously taken advanatage of.
How do you explain it to future employers?
Say it hionestly, just like you said it to us.
Best luck in your next endeavors.
If you signed a contract and they broke the deal, you can sue. Otherwise, the CEO and his cronies have the right to decide anything they want. No matter how much it stinks!
Good Luck with this one, I hope it works out.
that's why they invented tribunes and courts. sue them.
I'm not sure if you have a case if you sue, and it might not be worth your time.
I would interview while you still have your job. To explain to other employers, tell the truth. Just don't do it in a way that is really spiteful to your current employer, or you will come across as an unhirable anger case. When they say "why do you want to leave?" say "there were some promises made that weren't kept and the opportunities I thought were going to be mine did not materialize" without futher elaboration. Let their own imagination fill in the gaps.
bad things happen so u can learn a lesson from it...
Well, you will answer this to your future employees just the way it was. Don't attack them just say that probably for financial reasons they couldn't do what they promised to do, and that the position that they gave you it's not what you wanted. You wanted to grow with the company that is why you moved to a different state. As far as suing them make sure that you have enough sources for it. Did you sign a contract with them for the promosed position, do you have anything in writing from them etc... I hope this helps you:)
OMG! i feel for u! I would stick it out for a year or even 2 if u can survive going that long. It would look better if u stayed for awhile then u can say u really wanted to relocate back near your family. That is such a shame what they did to you! I would start even looking for a new job now and see what u can find if u don't want to really stay there and think it's a waste of time because u won't get to travel and do the things promised to you. I would contact a lawyer to see what your rights are and see if there is a way to sue but if u start suing every time u don't get what u want then u can be blacklisted by your current employer and they will make it really hard to find work in your field.
Just something for u to think about.
That is unfortunate, but typical. I suggest you stay with the company for a while until you find something more suited for you. You appear to be rather intelligent, so you will probably do much better in the future. Next time get it in writing.
God bless
This is the time to make your career what you want it to be, not what you got stuck with.
Schedule a meeting with the same people - the CEO, owner, vice presidents, etc., and let them know that you feel like your creative talent is being stifled. Let them know that you're not feeling as challenged as you were led to believe you would be. Let them know that you are coming to this talented group of people to discuss this because you're sure that they will be able, as a group and as powerful individuals, to help you grow into the promised position of product manager. And let them know, calmly, that you would absolutely hate to explore your options elsewhere because this company holds so much promise for you.
Then shut up and let them talk it out.
Hang in there. This could be the opportunity of your life!

In every event there is a lesson.Please think about what little I am writing.
You have a long career ahead of you.It is natural for you to be upset.The way you handle this situation,will reflect on into your management career and help mold your management style.Be sturdy, do your assignments to the best of your ability.Your time to shine will come you and I know that.So stop look at you ,not them.It is you that can see your road ahead not them.
Unfortunately you do not have a leg to stand on to sue the employer. Jobs change and most states are " at will" employment which means they can change the scope of the job they hired you on for at any time and quite honestly fire you at any point in time with no real good reason. You're stuck so you might as well bite the bullet and go back home or find a new job. You couldn't pay a lawyer to take that case. you would lose miserably in court unless you could prove discriminatin or something of that nature which quite frankly, them changing the scope of a job would not qualify. I'm in the staffing industry and unfortunately i see it all the time where an employer is looking for XYZ, they hire someone for that job, things change w/in the company and the structure of the company and that person ends up having to chose between taking on a different role to stay with the company or looking for a new job.
Before you leave, and sue, why don't you sit down and talk to the person(s) who hired you and very professionally express your concerns. See if you can work out a plan to do what you want to do. If they don't help, continue working and start interviewing. Let the future employers know what happened and next time, don't take a job unless you do your own due diligence on the company and their principals. A larger company might be better...but there are some bad apples there too.
