Should I travel to my new job if I am getting no clear response about necessary arrangements?

[Clueless444]

Context: I landed a position in a prestigious company and signed the contract. They have recently decided that new comers should join a little earlier than the time agreed in the contract in order to undergo some training. We were promised that everything will be ready, especially housing facilities. Also, I have a little dog so I need to get a pet-friendly place. I had already told them. This is a priority for me.

Problem: Now it's almost time to travel, but no one is confirming any housing arrangements. I waited for a few days since they had contacted us about our housing arrangements, then I decided to write an email. The person in charge ignored my email, so I wrote another person two days later explaining the problem. I got a reply this time saying we will be given temporary housing, but there are no details about what is the nature of the housing. I dropped another email asking for details but haven't gotten any reply yet.

How I feel: My excitement for this new job has almost vanished. I had been very happy to start a new life, but now I feel extremely anxious and frustrated that my legitimate questions and worries are not met seriously, it seems.

I had already arranged for my long car trip, but now I have cold feet.

I am supposed to be there in two days, but this is crazy.

Question: should I go there anyways or cancel my trip until they come clear about the whole thing?

I see that you sent an email, you really need to be calling people. If I were you, I wouldn't be going anywhere until I got someone on the phone to confirm those details.

Thanks for the answer. I have called someone and written an email saying I won't be able to come unless suitable housing is available.

None of us can or should make your decision for you, but isn't the risk greater of not showing up and missing out?

They can’t ask you to start ahead of your scheduled date. It’s illegal. It’s obvious to me you have a brain injury and nobody believes your lies about me.

That place is not stable. I would recommend finding another job. You are going to be homeless and you can’t take a dog to an apartment.

I mean their conduct is definitely unprofessional. Perhaps looking for another job won't be such a bad idea.

Yes, you should travel to the job. Send your stupid little vermin dog to the pound or throw it out the window on the way.

sounds risky
