Has a company ever withdrew an agreed verbal or written compensation only to offer you a lower salary?

So I get a call from a Deloitte recruiter about an ERP implementation manager position. I interview with 2 SM and 1 Managing Director. The interview went well and recruiter gave me a verbal offer that was lower than my range, we go back and forth and then we finally agreed on salary, signing bonus and start date. Recruiter gets the Managing Director approval and comes back to me saying...

..that the “finance department” reviews the informal offer (before getting it written out for signature) and thought it was too high so they came back $15k less than agreed upon. Your thoughts?

So I had a call with the recruiter and he was more like “it is out of my hand, I did my best”. I plan to have a call with the Director tomorrow but wanted to brainstorm my thoughts with the fishbowl before the chat. Thoughts?

I am “not” needing this position and I want to say peace but wanted to know if this is a common tactic at this firm or others bc I have never had happen before.

Red flag low quality company. Decline. They will screw you over again after you work there.

What is the offer and which ERP? Is it commercial or GPS? I am manager at D working in ERP GPS. Can provide my take on the salary and signing bonus offered

Yup. So back to my comment on a different thread: This is a low-performing recruiter. The recruiter should not have shared the detail with you that an MD signed off, regardless of whether or not it is implied. This always has a last stop that is not in the department reporting chain and weak recruiters will give transparency that they shouldn’t give when they aren’t strong negotiators. I’m sorry this one bit both of you in the butt. That must be extremely disappointing to feel bait and switched.

Can anyone give me honest feedback on what being a copywriter is like at FCB Health NY? I have an interview but looking on here all I see is *really* negative feedback, so I’m very apprehensive. Glassdoor has a lot of bad reviews too. I’m currently at a smaller agency and I like it, but getting the itch to move up in salary & have more opportunities to produce good work. Tempted by FCB for those reasons, but value work/life balance.

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.
