I'd like to know if it would be worth the effort to
pursue my situation.
Here goes.
I was offered another job that paid more money.
Didn't really want to leave but the money was too
good. I knew my current employer wouldn't match.
I Handed in my 2 week notice, a week later they came
back and asked what it would take to keep me.
I wrote up a counter offer, the Director circled what
he agreed to and crossed out what he didn't and signed
that paper.
He retired a new director came in and obligated the
contract, that director left.
Another director was hired, sat me down and said he
won't honor it because:
One: HR doesn't have a copy, so it's void.
Two: The first Director had no authority to sign such
a paper.
Three: "I can't do for you what I can't do for
others"
There was no option of restitution in this meeting.
Well... HR did have a copy of this agreement (contract) and when
I said contract, she said she was concerned.
At the end of our conversation, HR proceeded to go
into a 5 minute spiel about trusting your employer -
mind you, lying about having a copy & having a signed
"agreement", where's the trust
I was supposed to receive 6 raises in a 3 year span.
My last 2 being Nov 1st '07 and May of '08. (I will
get a review in May)
My concern is that it isn't a formal contract but it is signed and was instated and upheld by 2 directors. And we are talking about pennies on the dollar.
Is it worth it or should I just forget it and look for
employment elsewhere?
Thanks for your time.
