[ASOC]

I once took a job that HR said was one thing - technical writing, but the on-the-ground was a totally different thing - as close as I can describe was forensic accounting.

I went back to the HR folks and told then I was rescinding my acceptance of the job...

They seemed *confused*.

My reply was “Of I had accepted the job, I would say I quit.
Hence my recension of the acceptance. This owing to your dishonesty in the job description.”

Frustrating to say the least....as I had a bud from a former gig put in a good word for me.

It was clear that overtime was part of the job, as it was a tax accountant position. However, there’s a big damn difference between being exempt and 10-15 hours a week ad nauseum. These last two tax seasons have worn me out, and I’m not the only one. I understand the reality: the market for 70+ YO accountants is very small. Staffing has increased from 3 to 7 over the past six months, in recognition of the workload.

I’ve worked in far worse places, so I can gut it our two more years.
