Accepted a job offer at 7% hike in London. was told by the hiring director they happy to give a joining bonus. The HR changed hands; a guy from HR introduced himself as the head of talent & said joining bonus was not mentioned by business & the offer is without the bonus. I fell for it and thought the head of talent is calling because they really have no budget. I later found HR guy who introduced himself as head of talent is just a contractor/new to PWC. As I've accepted, should I let this go?
