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.
Unfortunately, the hype that a prospective employer tells you during the hiring process is often no more actionable than a car dealer telling you that a car is a "cream puff" or "driven on Sunday by a little old lady from Pasadena."

Similarly, all the embellishments that a prospective employee tells the employer is also not actionable. If you want to go through life not being sued by every employer who thinks you "misrepresented" yourself then you have to understand that you don't get to sue every employer whose job conditions and opportunities don't measure up to the employer's hype.

But you haven't answered the question about the employment contract and there isn't anything else I can comment on without knowing if you have one and what it says.
