Worker forcibly relocates 1700 miles only to find out there's actually no job: ''The position is "no longer available..."'

Relocating for work is a tough choice to make. On the one hand, the opportunities on offer could open doors and lead to opportunities that would set you up for the rest of your life. On the other hand, you'd be leaving your life, as you know it, behind. There's no telling whether or not what you're giving up will actually be worth it or how things will even turn out on the other side. 

All this counts on the fact that you like your current job that's being relocated and that you trust the people asking you to relocate, because, again, there's a lot at stake, and trusting such a dramatic shift and creating that much uncertainty in your life for to the wrong people is a risk that's not worth taking. 

When this worker was granted the opportunity to take another role within their current organization it seemed too good to pass up—but there was just one catch. They had to relocate 1700 miles, uprooting their entire life, in a week's time. They decided to go for it, giving notice to their apartment and packing up a U-Haul with all their stuff.
