I was offered a job that I rejected due to the travel requirement and lost my chance at the other. It is despicable to mislead someone about the nature of the job, or to try to camouflage six months a year in a foreign country. When you lie to someone about something that affects their career, you are really screwing them up. You may cost them more that just a wasted day. That day may represent the only chance they will have for some time.
Employers ought to be willing to describe the job, warts and all.
I don't think that many jobs are perfect, but I don't want to live in hotels in Asia half the year, and if that is what the company wants, they should have the courage to say so when I ask them. I don't know why they would want an unhappy employee who knows that he is a victim of a lie. I should also tell you that later, after the smoke cleared, a personnel representative sent me an apology for the way the company treated me. It's a good company, and I think that 99.9 percent of the people there are just fine. I would not want to say anything that would make the company look bad, even if I never work there.
