<prompt> Human: Backstory:Company hires me and has me relocate my family halfway across the country. We agree to a salary and a signing bonus this is important.Two weeks after I started, I was brought into a meeting with my colleague, boss, and their boss. They proceeded to tell us that theyve decided to turn the project that I was hired from our department to another department. This effectively eliminated my job although we still had one thing to do, but that part is now over.Ive been in limbo since then because the new department didnt really know what theyve wanted to do with the projectme. They originally wanted to go with a vendor to do most of the project, but things have changed since then, and now theyre only doing a small part of it the rest will be done by another vendor, possibly a different one.In the past couple of weeks, my old bosses have been replaced by new bosses. When I tried to talk to my old boss about me transferring to their department they went to the department thats running the project now, they gave me vague answers and told me to talk to my new boss about it.Which happened today.We were pretty candid with each other...we recognise that me staying in my current department didnt make any sense, since they couldnt use the specific skillset that I have and the reason why they hired me. They pretty much told me that I have the following options:1 Learn more about the companydifferent systems in an attempt to transfer to the other department but no one knows what those are2 Leave the companyNow, it makes the most sense for me to leave and go somewhere else, but since I took the signing bonus, Ill have to pay it back since Im leaving before the end of my first year.Im at a loss of what to do, plus Im pissed that Ive relocated my family halfway across the country to a place that we didnt really want to go to for a job that went away two weeks after I started.Suggestions?Assistant: Do you want to stay with the company?If so, I would work with your supervisors to determine what the systems are that you need to master to make yourself valuable to the department where your project went.If you want to leave, then I would take your employment contract documents to an attorney to determine if you have a legal case.In either case, I would string-along the company as long as possible to keep earning paychecks. I wouldnt quit... I would make them discharge you so that you are eligible for unemployment if it comes to that.Human: I was thinking about contacting an attorney. Ive also documented the timeline to the best of my knowledge, Ill need to confirm some of the dates as well as kept all of the employment documentation.  <response>: Good.I know youre pissed, and rightfully so. But, its best to not get emotional at work. If you do need to litigate, you dont want them to have any ammunition against you. Even though its hard, stay cool at work while all of this plays out. Good luck!
