Do you reckon that I did the right thing?

Dear Phil,

That's mental. Was that the Consultant or the Employer? (Consultants can often be mental. Common where part of the fee is some sort of commission pending success :cool:) Don't worry - you did the right thing.

Yep , all the way , your word is your bond and here a handshake is binding among aussie men ( and women) If they went back on the deal then they are not anyone you would want to deal with again, :no: my only advice is to ring back and ask to speak with whover rang your wife , face to face one on one in an open field, I would :((

I was taught and I believe that when you give your word it is as binding as a signed contract.

I was once offered a job at a computer company that was a competitor to where I worked. Being a field employee I had a company car. (It's not all that great.) The new company's job was a home office job. (i.e. Almost no local travel) I was using the car as a bargaining chip to get a better offer. The hiring manager offered me a company car.

The offer letter comes in the post. I call the HR people and ask how me having a company car could be justified to the other people in the group. The HR people said that I would not be getting a company car. I explained that I knew that and that was why I was not accepting their offer. HR wanted to know why I thought that I was getting a company car. I explained that the hiring manager said that I would and that if the manager was being deceitful before I started working, how would he be after I was working.

I heard that the manager was let go about six weeks later. About a year later, the company went under and ceased to exist. :rolleyes:

I think you should just forget about it.
I have have others do the same.

Phoenix. there was no post of yours deleted in this thread except the last one.
