Company promises accommodation for new hire during training out of state, then refuses to provide it after they signed, forcing the employee to quit: ‘They lied to get me on board’

The last stage before a new hire signs a contract with a company should be filled with honesty, from both sides. What is the point of lying about anything regarding the job, if one day on the job would prove that whatever was discussed is not what is going to happen?

We're not just talking about how candidates shouldn't lie about their qualifications; we've all been there. No, we're talking about how some companies promise all kinds of things to employees before they sign the contract, only to back out of them as soon as the employee arrives on their first day.

Why go through all this trouble just to drive the new hire right out of the door they just walked through?

Take the employee in the story below as an example. They were told they would have to go through 2 weeks of training out of state, and were promised certain accommodations. However, in the first week, they discovered that the training was actually 6 weeks, and that the company refuses to provide any of the accommodations they promised.

Which leaves the new hire wondering what the point of the promises was in the first place…
