What is the name of your state? New York State
The basic situation is that I applied for a job on line with a company, but they have placed me in an entirely different position. After applying and interviewing, they indicated to me I should re-apply online. They gave me the name of the position, and it did not match the job I applied for. When I asked about this I was told "It is just to make the numbers work out". I left it at that and applied for the job and was told that I was hired.
When I started I was placed in a position that matched the one I had been told to apply for, not the one I had interviewed for and applied for on my own. My boss at the time told me they wanted me to get exposure to both positions. I accepted this as I was the new guy, and took him at his word.
I attempted to get myself passwords for the position I applied for as I was told I would be doing it after I got used to the other side of the "data center". I was rejected at every turn, my manager told me he would look into it. After a while of no progress I pulled him aside and asked him to level with me, and he basically informed me that this was the job they were going to have me do. That my application more closely matched it, and they had a need for me to work it.
My issue is I left a company I had over five years with, and was offered a position to relocate to Virginia with for an opportunity to stay in New York based on the information I learned about the job I initially applied for. The interview was based on it, and that to me is as much me learning about them as them interviewing me. It was with that knowledge I accepted the opportunity.
Is this something they can just do to people? I mean I made life-altering decisions based on what they said to me and I can not now change my decision I am feeling "stuck" in a job I do not want and never would have accepted.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
