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.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat.

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
