I'm currently in an awful position at work. I just
started a new job for a group of physicians in a new state
with a contract that states I must give the company 3
months notice with my intention to leave. One month into
my job we found out that our group (the physicians)
contract is being let go by the hospital. In other words,
I have a contract with the group, the group has a contract
with the hospital, and the hospital is letting the group
(including me)go in mid July. I have spent months trying
to find another position in the area and finally found
one, only this new group needs to hire me on now. I can't
afford to loose this job opportunity and I'm not sure the
new groups is willing to wait 3 months. I'm afraid the
group I'm currently with may sue if I try to leave early.
As it is I'm already getting screwed over by loosing my
job after a couple months employment (and not by anything
I did) and now I'm being forced to stay? I've heard
rumors that the state of Virginia has a "will to work"
clause which would permit me to terminate my contract
without any consequences. Is this true? Is there any
alternatives so that I can get out of this dead end job
that will no longer exist in a few months so I can start a
new one? Thank you for your help!
