My husband took a job with another company and we moved to South Dakota in May (this company has posts in other states and the headquarters are in another state). On his first day of work he found out that the
person's job he took had been the foreman and then stepped back down from the foreman's position to his old position (the one that was already filled by husband). They had to post the foreman position (internally) and someone from another post in another city/state took it and he had 90 days to decide if he wanted it. That was up the beginning of December and he accepted the position. BUT not one word has been said to us if my husband will have to transfer to that other city. We figured if we had to move AGAIN that they should have to buy our house. Not only that, we would be moving from a town to a city where housing is going to be three times as much. What makes me so mad is that we weren't warned before taking the job and that no one higher up has said a word to us. It sounds like they will post that other position and my husband will have to post for it if he wants to keep his job (and we don't know anyone else that will apply for it - no one else wants to move there either). Well, if he willing applies for the position then we think they will say we willing did it so they don't have to buy our house and help with the move. This has been going on since the beginning of June and we think the axe will drop this week. Where do we stand? Can we force them to buy our house? Does husband have to apply for that other post? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
