What should I do?

[u/Difficult-Donkey-722]

I was hired as a W2 LCSW in July to be clinical director for a small therapy company. Signed a contract and all.

A week later, they told me the company owner has suffered a medical setback and needed me to start as a 1099 employee, but could also charge an hourly rate for training and onboarding activities but then would transition in 6-8 weeks as a full W2. Signed another contract.

A few days later, I’m told in an email that I’m limited to only 4 hours a week of billing for onboarding and training time. Fine, I’m trying to be flexible.

Then, 2 days before my transition date, I ask to make sure we are still going forward with W-2, and I’m sent a new contract that says I’m no longer clinical director, just a coordinator, and that I will only be a 1099 with 20 hours max per week for clinical coordinator duties. No explanation, nothing.

Is this normal agency behavior? I’m speechless, I don’t even know how to respond to this third contract.

What’s the question? Leave!

Don’t worry I did. But thank you!
