i once took a job which required relocation, they paid a signing bonus and resettlement costs...i was there about 4 months and resigned and moved back...it was nothing close to what was promised, the back stabbing and infighting was terrible...the manager i went to work for disclosed to my peers that i was coming in significantly higher than they were paid (yeah, talk about a great way to receive a warm welcome), among other issues.
i offered to pay back relo fees but not signing bonus, they said not required. i did meet with the bosses boss prior to leaving to explain why, and they were very thankful for my honest feedback, acknowledged there were issues that they should have disclosed, and i said my biggest issue was that the one who i reported to i could not trust to keep a confidence, and i can;t work in an environment like that.
