The real lesson to learn here is twofold:
- People recruiting / hiring are incentivized to say whatever is needed to close the deal. With the exception of a bold faced lie (I don't think this was that).
- People at the company being acquired are more often than not going to lose most of their power. Including the C-suite. No one is safe and as an employee/victim you won't know the actual arrangements of the deal until the dust settles.
- argiopetech 3y agoThree fold: - People forget and circumstances change. Signed documents don't.
- chii 3y agoExactly. Get all promises in writing (ala, a contract of sorts). The company certainly would when they get a promise out of you.
- morgango 3y agoYea, I think more often it is the second point more than the first one. You would be surprised how often makes leaders into liars. Honestly, I would bet that the VP probably had assurances from his leadership that what he was telling you was true. Sorry to hear that happened, that sucks.
