I relocated to accept a job offer. Now after many months I am finding that my employer is in debt to several of it's vendors. Also for shipping costs and numerous other amounts. Plus large amounts of sales taxes and more. Because I relocated to take this job, I am afraid. My instincts tell me to get out - run for the hills. How do you decide. These seem like huge warning flags to me?

Not only do you "see the writing on the wall" Its probably ONLY ONE chapter of a book!
Get the devil out of there - ASAP!
Even if you have to work for minimum wage someplace, L-E-A-V-E!
Do you honestly think that "leopard will change his spots"? I doubt it.
I'm willing to bet it won't be too long before your paycheck starts bouncing like a rubber ball.
At one time I worked for someone who LOVED to write rubber checks. My bank would call me EVERY Friday - between 12:30 to 1:30 - at the height of the lunch rush hour.
I put up with that crap for 4 straight weeks!
When the 5th check bounced, I went to the bartender and told him what was going on. He gave me the cash. I walked out!
As I was leaving, I heard "Bob" [not his real name], my boss holler, "RONNIE, YOU'RE FIRED!"
I didn't acknowledge one syllable of what he said. I walked out that door.
I was working at another position in a very short time.
AND my new employer KNEW he was pulling that kind of garbage! ((((((((Not-so-intelligent, gullible ME))))))))
Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed taking the time to answer it!
VTY,
Ron Berue
Yes, that is my real last name!

The flags are bright red and are in stark contrast to the white of the sinking ship behind them.
When you relocated was there any type of writing? contract? employment agreement? even a written offer which memorialized why you were moving there? an email, anything? All of this might be for not if the company is going completely under, but things you need to take into consideration.

Run for the hills. Preferably hills where you've already secured a new position. There is no reason to go anywhere if you don't already have a job to go to. And try to figure out how to not repeat this. Knowing what you know now, would there have been anyway to avoid this? What if you had asked to speak to other current and/or past employees before you went to the trouble to move. Even if they refused to refer you to a past employee, that might say something.

Start looking for another job so you will still be employed when this one folds. You look normal now but will look desperate later. If the company is running on money that should be going to creditors, it is not going to run very far before they get cut off.

If I were you, I would start looking now and not wait for the shoe to drop.
He isn't going to give you a notice of a layoff, you'll just show up one day and find out you don't have a job.

Sounds like they aren't very stable - start looking right away, so with luck you'll find something else before they go under and you're out of a job. Your instincts are telling you right.
Good luck.
