🔥⚖️ #NY #jobdilemma #relocationwoes
Hey everyone! 🌟 Have you ever been in a situation where your company told you could relocate, only to change their minds later on? 🤔 Well, that’s exactly what happened to me recently.
Here’s the deal: I’m 24, working in PWM in NYC, and I was thrilled when my firm said I could work from our Boston office to be closer to my friends. 🌆👯♂️ But now, they’re saying I still have to come to the NYC office 3 times a week. 😕
I’ve already signed a lease in Boston, so commuting back and forth isn’t really an option. 🏙️🚇💼 Should I just give my two weeks’ notice and move on, since I’m not super attached to this job anyway? 💔💼 Or is there a way to fight for what was originally promised to me? 🥊🤷♂️
Any insights or suggestions for me? 🤔💭 Let’s discuss and see if we can find a solution together! 💬💡 #workdilemma #careeradvice
Doesn’t really seem like there’s anything you can do based on the information provided.
They can decide not to transfer to a different office (maybe there’s no longer a need to have you in that specific location).
It doesn’t hurt to ask why the transfer is no longer approved, as that may give you a better idea if it’s a solid no or a “not right now” type of thing. But they may simply just say they can’t do it.
Not much negotiating once they have said no. Sucks.
You could just ignore them for a while and see if they enforce it – buy yourself a few more weeks pay
If they communicated the initial approval in writing (or acknowledged it in writing afterwards) you might have a decent case for them covering your new apartment fees under “promissory estoppel”.
So you might not have to lose any money resulting from their lies…and you cant force them to let you transfer, but they might be agreeable to letting you transfer in exchange for not having to pay those apartment fees under promissory estoppel.
If you’re prepared to leave anyways, it might be worth a try to buy you a few months of remote work while you look for a different job in Boston.
So Google tells me you work in “Progressive Wage Model” or “Pulse-width modulation.”
Oh… private wealth management! Is that what your acronym stands for?
Your employer does not have to care where you want to live. You could try suing for promissory estoppel. (I get the impression you have money to burn and could use it to ignite a few bridges.)
