My husband and I worked together at the same company (both as supervisors) for 7 1/2 years. I resigned May 1999, and in July 1999 my husband accepted a transfer to Missouri and a promotion. Recently, several managers in the division office of this company tried to recruit me for a management position where we live. When all the details were ironed out and I had a written job offer, I resigned from another position I was to have started the next day (I didn't want to waste their time with training only to leave later). 11 days later, I was told that I couldn't have the job because my husband worked for the company in a capacity that would be a conflict of interest - though he worked in a different town. The issue of married employees working for the same company had been addressed earlier, and no one at the division level had a problem with it. This decision came from a corporate VP who wasn't even involved in the hiring process. My job offer said it was contingent on passing the rest of the screening process. Am I just out of 2 jobs or do I have some recourse?
