In December 2021, I agreed to leave a 120k annual job for a company that guaranteed my pay for “at least 18 months.” It’s written in black and white. This was for a position that was not worth the amount promised, but they made the investment in me and my skills. It can become worth 120k, but will take years. They knew this; I knew this. Today, 12 months into our 18 month agreement, I’m being told they want to restructure my pay to 84k.
If I refuse, legally, I could be fired. If I accept, I’m making 30% less. In the middle of the worst of 3 recessions in my lifetime. I’m definitely leaving. But it will take time because I’m in a special sales position in a niche market of medical sales.
Get EVERYTHING in writing. Send your job offer back if it’s not right. Make them put it in black and white.
What my boss isn’t yet aware of, this is all verbal. I won’t sign anything outside my agreement. Fire me!!
