BEWARE - only trust the offer letter

Some folks are being offered roles with their supervisors saying “don’t worry this won’t be the actual job when the time comes, we’ll get you something better” or “no worries, this says same CL, but you’ll likely get a CL increase next year.

Do not trust any verbal commentary that does not make it into a written guarantee whether in the offer letter or an email from your supervisor that you review with a lawyer. Now is not the time to believe some wishful hypotheticals. Now is the time to trust no one except the piece of paper that your lawyer explains to you and you are comfortable with.

Only assume they will give you what the offer letter says.

Also, if your offered job starts in 2027, assume that you may not get a salary increase Jan 1, 2027. Ie same pay all of 2026 and 2027.

Never hurts to ask :-) The worst thing is "No" - as expected, but you lose nothing.

@en agree there will be changes, but don’t count on your sh---y offer turning into something better. With the expats coming back, less jobs, and many golden handcuffs many people will have to settle for near to medium term demotions if they want to continue with company

You’re reading too much into this. You think no job moves will happen in January and everything will stay the exact same? What rock are you living under?

Has anyone gotten an offer for a new position outside their department?

The organization is getting much smaller and there's huge downward pressure on CL's. Who seriously thinks there's gonna be much in the way of CL promotions?
