Hey everyone, I need some advice on a tricky situation with my new job. 🤔 So, I interviewed for a Hybrid position back in June and the CEO initially said I could work remotely during the transition period. But now, a month in, I’m being told I have to move to the new city. 😳
Here’s the catch:
– The job I’m doing isn’t what I applied for
– The cost of living in the new city is double what I’m used to
– No mention of relocation assistance was made
– My skills might not match the new role
Any suggestions on how to handle this dilemma? I could potentially afford to live in the new city with my new salary, but the moving costs are a concern. 🤯
One possible solution could be:
– Have a candid conversation with the CEO about the initial agreement and express your concerns about the unexpected relocation requirement
– Request for further clarification on the expectations and potential support for the move
– Consider negotiating a timeline for the relocation that aligns with your financial planning
Any other thoughts or advice you could share would be greatly appreciated! 🙏 Let’s brainstorm together! 💡 #WorkDilemma #CareerAdvice
You were hired with the expectation that you would be moving to the new city. You even told them that you would be moving. What you need to do now is get together with your boss and the CEO and figure out a deadline for when you need to make the move by. You need to figure out a date that you can move by, and have your boss and CEO agree upon that date.
Do you WANT to move? If not why did you apply and agree to this?! Else well I would say figure it out and discuss with your boss.
I had the same but job was not what I discussed in interview, said it to my boss and she knew I would just leave if they forced me. Stayed a year and then left…
This is a bad situation. Start looking for another job while you wait to see what your manager says. Maybe they can negotiate with the CEO. You are probably too far down the organizational chart to make the argument against moving directly.
I applied to a remote position at a big company. Everything was good, the team loved me. The executives decided my position should be on-site despite my entire team being remote. (My job doesn’t require on site).
So, the pay was in total maybe $60k more. I declined it, why would I sell my house for this?
Anyways, needless to say it comes down to… Do you think the move is worth it?
What does your employment offer say? Does it spell that it is a 100% remote job or was there a stipulation that you’ll be moving?
