Dealing w/ Relocation Package Bait and Switch?

Posted by Cliff on Thursday January 25, 2007 @05:45AM from the dispicable-practices dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I got a R&D job offer with a large company in Philadelphia area last week. It includes a relocation package that they told me was standard for my position. After I accepted the offer and made plans to terminate my current job, the recruiter handed me off to their relocation department, where I was told that my relocation package is significantly less than what I was promised. The relocation manager tells me that whenever there is conflict between their relocation policy and the offer, their internal relocation policy supersedes. Is this type of switch-and-bait common practice in corporate America? If you have gone through this nightmare before, any advice on how to respond to it?"

Where are the papers? by mnmn · 2007-01-25 06:01 · Score: 0, Redundant

So, to accept anything and resign from your current job, isn't it reasonable to get that all signed on paper?

So where are the papers?
