Thanks. Re: the disclosure, the doc to which I'm referring was different (above and beyond the comprehensive disclosure form I completed). It was a third-party write-up of an independent inspector's report. (I had to have my own inspection - above and beyond the buyer's inspection.) The inspector told me the only issues he saw were some old GFIs and potential non-hazardous mold in the attic. I get the inspection report back and it was riddled with errors and speculation (there might be mold here, here and here). It was written and presented in a way that horrified buyers. Ultimately a mold test concluded only trace amounts existed and could be remediated with household cleaners (professional remediation was not recommended). Anyway, it's pretty clear that that document was the problem, because when I was permitted to show only the disclosure (which I updated based on the virtually uneard-of seller's inspection report), the house sold within a week. I'm comfortable with how I handled that part of the process, having consulted a real estate attorney before proceeding

Regarding "objective" misrepresentation, I'm not sure how to get more objective. The culture sucks (and there's considerable documentation of this that goes back years). The group is viewed basically as value-less (and given the results I've seen and which has been par for many years apparently, I can't blame others for having this view of us). And the role is not at all global. Period. The company is, but my job is not.

Re: the kicker, they may not have been able to disclose the situation, but the response was this (as told to and relayed to me by a head hunter): we are on level 2 when it comes to that sort of thing; we do not think mergers or acquisitions are likely until level 4 or 5 (keep in mind this was 8 or 9 months after the conversations started). This is coming from the talent acquisition manager. A CYA and more telling response would have been "we dont know" or "we can't comment," but instead he went the extra mile and provided decision-altering info.

Not sure if this changes your opinion at all, and I do sincerely appreciate your response (hoping others will weigh in).

BtW, I dont want to go to court and would rather avoid it all costs.

Edit: adjusterjack - thanks for your response; i was in the middle of responding to bubba when you posted.
