Today, we were notified that our office will be relocated. Employees can tag along but their wages will not be adjusted accordingly. The cost of living at the new place is way higher. I have to finish my contract and really can't afford to not have a job right now. FML

Today, I was notified that my work is cutting my pay almost in half. I just renewed my long-term lease on an expensive apartment because I was able to afford it before this morning. Now I have no idea how I’m going to pay for it. FML

Today, after 3 years at my job I received a 14% raise. I was informed I will be transitioned from hourly to salary. I will now be making $1500 LESS than I made last year. FML

Today, I finished moving to my new apartment, which is 45 minutes away from my old one, because my workplace would be closer. I then got a phone call from my boss, telling me that he's transferring me to another location, which is closer to my old apartment. FML

Today, my boss told me they were letting me go because they "could no longer afford to pay me." Never mind the catered lunch they had the day before, which cost more than a week's worth of my salary. FML

Almost there

Today, I discovered that my contract start date is exactly 2 days outside of the furlough date. Meaning instead of taking 80% of my salary, I'm only getting 40% (thanks to the company). This would be fine if I hadn't just moved countries to get this job. FML

Today, I'm still reeling over the unexpected loss of my co-worker. I also received a notification that my workload would be increased to more than twice what is was before. FML

Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML

Today, I was forced into accepting a "promotion" for a position that pays less than what I get right now. FML

Today, a month after getting a big promotion, I found out that I'm stuck with my old job. No one wants to take my old position, so they are vacating my new one and will post it, because, "This one is more desirable, and your's is shit." FML

My best advice would be to find a roommate and a new place before the deadline. I hope it all works out!

I feel like if the company moves, you're not bound to the contract. They can't force you to move with them. Time to start a job hunt. Good luck either way OP

Some money is better than no money. Stay positive!

With any luck you can get out of your contract. The new living expenses could be considered an unreasonable expectation or request. Have someone who knows contracts look over yours, they may be able to find an out for you.

I would agree they technically broke the contract and may even owe you money for the work on that you did complete maybe not all of it, but what ever percent you did.

Where I work we have some positions that consist of 3 twelve hour shifts from Friday through Sunday. Several of the people whom work those shifts live in different states and have shared apartments here or stay with friends or family. They go back home only on their off days. Some of our 4-10 guys do that too. It may be something worth looking into.
