what would you do if you agreed

[kirlin]

what would you do if you agreed on a position for, say, $56k per year and you later found out that you were getting paid $55k per year. then you go to your boss and they said, "no, here's this email i sent to HR. we must have agreed on $55k." i know what we agreed on and i know it's not $55k.

where's your evidence?

[moberg]

Evidence doesn't really matter because even if you had it, they could fire you tomorrow. It's not like you sold a car or something and it's a finished transaction. You let them know that it matters to you, and if they dismiss it, move on.

When did you become an HR professional?

[clutts]

is this a reputable company?

[eifler]

it's this boss in particular it's not the first time he made a switch on me, and tried to make it look like it was my fault. he originally hired me to work on a project and then after i took the position (on a freelance basis) that the previous person fucked it up, and it needed to be rewritten almost from scratch.

In a court no ones word means anything Just learn from your mistake. You now know you can't trust him. So put everything in writing have it all signed and dated by both of you. For the most part the days of doing business on a handshake are gone. I still tend to but I have been bitten because of it.
