Tendered resignation because I couldn't meet the hour requirement of my job. Was told I could stay on-board with reduced hours. Was then informed I could not, after I passed up employment with another business because I kept my position. They decided to transfer me to a different store. Now I need to resign because new position takes just as many hours, with the drive (which I am not paid for). Except, I'm paid for fewer hours, have incurred further travel expenses, and my situation is worse than if I had just taken the positions, as I would have if I had been correctly informed by my employer, who originally said I could keep my original position. Is there a case to be made?
