Hi,

I was just hired this week by a company who is contracting my services out to a client of ours. I was hired as a manager. As a result, I decided to leave a job in NJ, and I moved down to Florida. The job I had in NJ was an hourly pay job at $54/hr, whereas the job here in Florida is $55/hr S.O.W. (which basically means I get paid for only 40 hours a week). I accepted this position despite the fact that I would not get paid for the extra hours over 40 that I worked simply because it offered career growth (as I would be the manager).

So I started this job, and I have been emailing people throughout the client stating that I am the manager. Today, I received an email reply from the client director stating that I am not approved to use the title of manager, nor was I hired for the manager position. However, my consulting company has hired me as the manager (and even placed this role within my contract).

I left a newly purchased home in NJ, along with the other job (which I had to resign from immediately and without notice in order to start this position).

Is there anything that I can do about this?

Thanks.

About the use of a title? Nope, not a thing.

Not even due to the fact that it was my sole reason for taking the position?

Your SOLE reason for taking the position was so that you could be called manager? More fool you, sorry.

You are doing the job you were hired to do. You are receiving the salary they offered you. (If this is not the case, you didn't say so.) All that's different is that you do not have the title of manager. That does not provide you with any legal recourse.

I took the position of manager in order to gain career growth. It appears that this is not the case here.

My answer stands.
