I have been working for a company for 3 months now. I have disliked the job from the 3rd week on. Here is my situation.
I received an offer of employment to work for this company near Nashville TN.
I lived 425 miles north of Nashville. Part of the offer that was sent to me was paid relocation and a sign-on bonus but the offer letter stated that if I left the company before 1 year of service I would have to repay the relocation and s/o bonus.
Well the first offer letter I received was electronically and attached were some brief generic info like Insurance costs this, we have XX amount of holidays, etc. Then I received a fed-ex pkg with a "formal" offer letter and another set of benefits. These said I would have insurance and 401K eligibility from day 1 with $1 for $1 match for first 6%, company paid pension starting day 1, 12 days of accrued vacation, etc. Then when I started I find out that the insurance and 401k start 30 days after hire and is actually $.50 for $1 match for first 6%, there is no pension, I have 6 personal days but no vacation until I've been there 6 months.
I dislike the job because I moved here with 2 young children (single mom) and my manager knows I have limitations to putting in long hours at the office or even logging in from home. He makes indirect comments about "leaving early" when I leave (after I've put in 8/9 hrs). He says I'm not fast enough on projects that he gives me (he told me this 2x my first month there.) Sends me emails on the weekend and on Monday will ask why I didn't respond to them. He has slammed me with work with very little training or direction.
I left a great job with $1 for $1 match on 401K, 4 weeks vacation and a very understanding boss.
So I am looking to move back home. What I want to know is since the benefits I am getting do not match at all what was physically sent to me (which I based my decision to take the job on) would I be liable to pay the relocation and sign on $$. Or could I take this info to a lawyer to fight it based on fraud.
I appreciate any opinions or info that you can give me.
If you need further clarification let me know because I don't know if I have explained it clear enough.
Thanks,
Stressed in TN
