Message: I started recently with ACN. They are trying to give me an assignment that is not 100% within my previous work (though I am willing to learn). However, the big thing is that the client location is on the other side of the county with no direct flight from my town - so it will take me 8-10 hours in planes and airports to get there. So I am looking at spending about 20 hours per week in planes and airports! I have a family - I can't believe these guys don't recognize this issue!! What is the best way to say no, also remember this is my first assignment. Thanks for your help and advice in advance.
