Moving across the country for a job is not something unheard of.

Sadly, this is not what happened to the author of this story.
This Redditor went on to r/AntiWork to sharehis storyof how his company possibly tricked him with constructive dismissal.

Clarify who is paying for what and get all your questions addressed up front, Carnachan says.
Ask for multiple meetings if thats what it takes to get it all sorted.
Vagueness to your legitimate inquiries is a red flag.
