A person goes for a “working” job interview and is offered the job “on the spot”. Wages were stated to be a certain amount during training, and then a certain amount after training, what a quarterly bonus would be (if you qualify). Interviewee accepts the verbal offer.
This morning, interviewee is contacted via phone and is told that because their experience in this field is so old and things have changed so much you still get the training wage as discussed and agreed verbally, but the wage after you are certified is now several $$ below the verbal offer/agreement. (It's not me, but I know things haven't changed because it's what I do for the last 20 years).
Wouldn't the verbal offer that was accepted be considered a verbal contract? Or am I way off base.
This little bait and switch makes me wonder what else they might screw my friend over with in the future. Very unethical.
I'd appreciate your input and insights.
