Just got told today after I signed job offer letter yesterday that the position is filled but they are willing to hire me to the subordinate of the position, along with a $12k decrease in salary. Suggestions? Comments?

My advice... run from them. They legally couldn't extend that offer without the position being vacant and they couldn't extend the offer out to any other potential candidate without the previous one turning it down. Something is off with their hr team and you should avoid them.

My advice would be to evaluate your current job search and financial conditions. If you can find another job fairly quickly, run away, If you don't have anything in sight I would take it temporarily and then run away. I would not work for a company that pulls these sorts of tricks.

I'd review them on Glassdoor and say they bait and switched you because that's essentially what they did. That's shameful behavior on their part and others deserve not to experience this same abhorrent behavior that you also didn't deserve, OP.

Take the job, then subvert your new boss so that they quit and then take over.

Do whatever

HR🥴

To summarise a few other points: they breached your contact the moment you signed it. It shows they have no intention of honouring any contract they give you.

You will gain nothing but stress if you pursue the job further, but do report them any way you can. GlassDoor, applicable government body (if any), etc.

Run away

Actually I would not suggest that you just leave, go to CCMA open a case there and have the matter settled there so u get a nice settlement then leave them.
Don't just leave freely they will continue doing that nonsense to other people, they must know that there are consequences in labour law.

It depends on how bad you need a job. If your bills are lapsing and your credit is in jeopardy take it and keep looking. Then leave when you find something better.

According to my understanding is a senior technical recruiter with over four decades of experience, they owe you in full for the amount agreed to for the term of the original offer letter, at minimum. Short-term, it may be worth your while to accept that offer modified to your original salary, tell them it's non-negotiable even though it may be depending upon your circumstances, and then also get a mandatory review date with salary increase...

Continuing from above, assuming you actually want to work for these people seeing how they're unethically manipulating offers that are legally binding from their side unless there's clauses in place stating otherwise, such as as is, etc... definitely consider with you on a work for these people long time or whether it's the action of one particular person who got themselves in a jam, which happens more frequently than you can imagine... My final advice is to keep your resume updated, continue looking, and get as much money out of them as quickly as you can.

I say take the job... the person who was hired above you might not be there long and then you will be the next in line. Not all opportunity in life is black and white... read between the lines. Most importantly, use your intuition. If this opportunity might be the best one for a while, take it. You can always quit. You have many choices. Keep a door open. Keep us posted! Good luck, Darla

Don't be shy, tell us what company.

Don't accept the offer.

You seriously have to ask what to do here?

No, I don't "seriously have to ask what to do here". There are many ways someone can respond to a situation. Receiving advice allows someone to think about the best path forward instead of rushing headlong with their first reaction and potentially making matters worst. Perhaps you weren't taught to think before you act.

Sign but continue look for new job... something better than nothing

I guess my question would be how long did you wait to sign the offer? If you were given a specific time frame to sign and missed it, they would move on to the next candidate.

At least one person in the comments below stated that the true employment contract would not include the phrase "at will" within the text. This is simply not a rule. There are many "at will" employment states, and "right to work" states. The funny thing is that "right to work" is the same thing as "at will" for the purposes of workers' rights. The push was to claim that people who did not want to join a union would still be allowed to work for an employer, however, the practice is that the employer is then able to fire people for trying to promote a union (and they do, usually under some other policy).

Hello Guys,

I have cleared the TCS Technical+ Managerial round.
Now HR is looking for salary discussion. But I don't wanna TCS now as I just have 4 YOE.
I wanna simply decline the offer discussion or reject the offer.
I wanna join TCS later in my career at a Good position when I'll have 6-7 YOE.
Rejecting offer discussion or offer letter will impact? Will TCS block me for a lifetime.
Please throw sm light here.
