I was unemployed early last year and an owner of a company which I had known wooed me to come work for a new franchise he had acquired in a smaller community about 2 hours drive away I was hired as general manager and subsequently sold my home and relocated to this new town at considerable expense for fees and moving. He paid for my hotel and apartment rental while I was house hunting and sale took place as well as helping me find a new house. My position was never clearly defined after I started and I had absolutely no authority to hire needed staff, purchase tools or supplies without lengthy and tedious negotiation. I was fired after 15 months without reason and found out afterwards that he hired a close business associate of his for the job. I have searched for and found that there are no jobs available here that match my experience and skills. I'm 56 years old and moved here looking to wind down my career in this job and now am forced to look outside of this area for employment and likely face another relocation.
