Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Broken Agreement
I was offered an opportunity within my company to relocate. This offer came from the senior V.P. I was told I could keep my current compensation package. The VP of this region, after 2 months and a face to face visit, decided that it was not within his budget. During this time, I told my immediate supervisor that I was going to accept this position. He gave my position to another employee. Now they are offering something I do not want? Is there any legal recourse?

Re: Broken Agreement
The law gives companies a great deal of managerial discretion in how to allocate personnel, and excercise business decisions. In order for you to challenge the decision that adversely affected you, you would have to show that there was some intent to discriminate or retaliate against you for an illegal purpose, or that they breached a contractual obligation, which is rare in these situations. Check the company policies and procedures to see if they violated any of them in how you've been treated. Perhaps the company permits a grievance procedure, enabling you to air your grievance. In all probability, there is no legal recourse.
