10. Is there anyone to report it to?

The HR person was very nice as we were chatting as I was signing all these documents. I can easily imagine someone not bothering to read the whole contract before they sign it.

From what the Operations manager said, the President just changed the employment contract in the last couple of months. I am not sure it reflects on the company as a whole or if its just this office.

They can't sue you for telling the truth. In the very least, I'd report it to the state's attorney's underahedgerow Aug 2016 #12

You can try your state labor board, or contact a pro bono employment attorney. MANative Aug 2016 #14
