I recently received an offer from Futurbyte for the position of Senior QA Engineer. After three confirmations via phone calls, they officially extended the role to me with a monthly gross salary of XYZ PKR amount on July 8th, around 6:00 PM PKT. Subsequently, I was invited to visit their office at my convenience to sign the offer letter, which I did on Next day. I signed the offer letter, and due to precautionary measures, they mentioned that the letter would be handed back to them and will be returned to me on my joining day as there are chances of a counteroffer. The offer letter explicitly detailed the agreed-upon salary amount.
However, a few days later, on Friday 12th of July, I received a call from Futurbyte another HR member informing me that there had been an internal miscommunication regarding the salary offer. They explained that they could not initially offer the XYZ PKR amount as stated on agreement and proposed that I start with a lower amount of ABC PKR. They assured me that my performance would be evaluated, and upon satisfactory performance, the salary would be increased to XYZ PKR amount after the probation period.
This experience has been a profound example of unprofessionalism, characterized by internal miscommunication, mismanagement, and ultimately, mis commitment on their part. The sequence of events left me feeling deeply disappointed and undervalued, as it demonstrated a significant lapse in their recruitment and communication processes. This kind of inconsistency not only affects candidate trust but also raises serious concerns about the organizational culture and reliability. It is crucial for companies to maintain transparency and honor their commitments to foster a trustworthy and respectful working environment.
