re: New Job Changed Schedule on First Day...Any Recourse?

First job I had out of college, I was told during the interview process I would be working Monday - Friday day shift with occasional Saturdays. I start work, and on day one get told it would be a rotating shift, days one week, second the next, and graveyard the next, plus weekends. I was also told during the interview that after a couple of years I would be able to move out of what I was doing and into something else. Bottom line, I wanted to get experience in different areas of the operation, and I chose to go into the worst side of the operation first, to get it over with.

After two years, they wouldn't let me out (too hard to find someone to replace me) and I was working around 80 hours per week. Bottom line, if they lie to you during the interview process, I wouldn't expect it to get any better. I'd be looking for something else.
