| Aug 1, 2019 at 21:17 | comment | added | reirab | @Mark I would still recommend talking to an employment lawyer sooner rather than later, if possible, though. Even if you don't sue now, they'll know what evidence to collect and exactly what protections you have where you are. IANAL, but, in most cases I'm familiar with, proof of actual intentional malice like that would significantly increase damages. | |
| Aug 1, 2019 at 19:00 | comment | added | Mark | @reirab Maybe, but I'm in the middle of a cross country move with four kids I have to house and feed, so I'm a bit stuck at least in the short term. | |
| Aug 1, 2019 at 16:37 | comment | added | reirab | @Mark "Sue us and we'll fire you." Lucky you! Sounds like an additional cause of action. Should be quite a nice little sum that they'll owe you in court. | |

| Jul 31, 2019 at 12:23 | comment | added | StephenG - Help Ukraine | that is also what was advertised If you have a copy of that advert (and ideally the offer and any other docs/emails) you could ask a lawyer if there's enough evidence to pursue them. Also if they were aware (and there is evidence of this) that you would need to move that's relevant. But you'll probably still end getting a different job at a different company - they're bait and switch con artists. | |

| Jul 30, 2019 at 21:44 | comment | added | Mark | I'm in the same boat except I documented all eight times I was told there would be a cost of living adjustment to give me more money, and the company just said "Yeah, we don't care. Sue is and we'll fire you." So I'm updating my resume and if anyone has any job leads... | |

Absolutely NOTHING is "written" down? And... exactly how big is this company? Do you have a boss+1? HR? Time to start a paper trail by emailing all parties with expectations on anything of import being documented. | |

| Jul 30, 2019 at 12:47 | comment | added | SemiGeek | Could this have been a case of company policy only allowing an X% raise to any current employee regardless of why they're getting the raise? It's a wrong and short-sighted policy, just trying to understand the parameters. They've forever damaged your view of the company. | |

| Jul 30, 2019 at 11:30 | comment | added | Solar Mike | Had friend who was treated like that on the Thursday, told the manager he would give an answer the following Tuesday.... Went in and handed in his notice - had found a different job... Manager was SO pissed as he now had 2 positions to fill and lost the skills and experience... | |
| Jul 30, 2019 at 11:26 | comment | added | Kepotx | This is sadly a good example of why starting the job before signing the offer is risky | |
| Jul 30, 2019 at 11:26 | comment | added | sf02 | What happens if you decline the offer? | |
