Have you ever taken a new job only to find out that it was a disaster? Sometimes this is because it’s just not a good fit. Sometimes the hiring manager lied to you about the job. (Surprisingly, hiring managers do this all the time–they’ll play up a job and promise candidates the world, then when the person starts, reality comes out.)

(If that’s the case.) Here are some suggestions.

That was revoked as soon as I started.”
