I took this job specifically because it was advertised as Remote First, and now they’re mandating four days a week in the office starting next month. I live two states away and there was zero mention of this during the six rounds of interviews I went through in January. Now they’re offering a relocation stipend that wouldn't even cover a moving truck, let alone a down payment in this market. Can I sue for breach of contract?

You might want to check your contract or your offer letter. So far as a lawsuit goes, it probably depends on what exactly is in writing. The situation sounds bizarre, especially considering that you went through so many interviews two months ago. Moving doesn't sound feasible, so you might as well get serious about finding another job. Even if you have a viable lawsuit, you'll presumably need employment.

This is why I always check the contract before signing and starting. I got screwed over by this previously but it was actually in my contract saying my place of work is the office address. You may need to check.
My recent employer did the same, so I asked them to change the wording and then I would sign, which they did!

If you haven’t started work yet, it seems unlikely.

If you have then constructive dismissal seems possible, so you can at least qualify for severance.

Consulting a lawyer may be best

I doubt it. The only way you have recourse is if it was written in your contract. Even then, you might be SOL.

That’s crummy.

IT might have been a decision that was made after your interviews.

Do you have a signed employment contract that states the stipulation of your work location, and if it can be changed at employers discretion?

7 year lawyer here. Been with the same big national firm all 7 years (not BigLaw) doing complex litigation. Been working remote a long time due to moving around for wife’s job. As a result of the moving was bumped off partner track. I’m looking at a great small firm that will be a practice change (but still litigation). I’m told they’re looking for someone with less experience and they’re skeptical because of my experience. It’s frustrating. How do I overcome this?
