Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Job offer changed after acceptance
Hello,

I recently accepted an offer of employment to work at a specific office location. I submitted my resignation and have now left my job. 1 day before beginning my new job, I was told that the location of my job is no longer at the office where I was told the position would be. Now, the position is to be at a location 30 minutes from the original location. This constitutes a significant difference in my commute. Do I have any recourse? Or must I accept the new conditions (as I have no other employment?) I have been candid with the director that had I known the position would be at the new location, I would not have accepted the position. Is this a bait and switch?

The employee does not have much in the way of rights here if Florida.

If there is nothing in your contract about where you will work, you are stuck with the move.
