Has anyone started a new job and it turned out to be not what they expected or were lied to about the role/responsibilities?

I was there about six months. Wasn’t too hard to find something, but hard enough to find the right thing. Explaining my departure was pretty easy as the story is completely believable in this industry.

That can definitely happen. This scenario generally wouldn't happen in a large corporation but could definitely happen in a smaller company. Your role and responsibilities could change frequently when you are working for a small privately held company. Hopefully, someone else will respond. If you are really discouraged you need to update your resume and start looking for a new role.

I was told several things such as my work location and responsibilities that have completely changed. I feel like I am being gaslit but also feel like they are unorganized, it’s hard to tell the difference
