You are probably trying to show us how bad your employer is. What I'm reading though, is how you should have walked away at least 5 times in the process.

What part of the work is actually "great" btw. I would guess you don't have any other job yet. Because everything sounds very horrible.

It has been a year now. I moved to a high-cost-of-living area where even owning a car is expensive. There is a cost to moving back as well. A lot of it is psychological - I cannot believe i allowed myself to be fooled so badly, it has really shaken my confidence in HR and hiring managers.
