'Get everything in writing': HR blindsides employee, moves him from salary to hourly rate, pays him less per hour
There is a reason why they say to make sure to get everything down in writing. This employee had the unfortunate experience of learning that life lesson the hard way after the HR representatives of the mental health facility in which he works kept shadily making adjustments to his contract. As someone who has worked freelance, part-time, full-time, and just about all the variations in between, I can confirm wholeheartedly that companies and bosses are going to make grand promises they cannot keep. It is up to you, no matter what capacity of employment you have, to advocate for yourself.

This thread was posted to Reddit by u/HamHandedBravado, who was a student at the time of receiving his job offer and who thought he had communicated that clearly to HR. In fact, the agreement was that he would be salaried but would work 32 hours per week. This eventually changed to 36 hours and then they took back their offer of a full-time position and decreased his hourly pay yet again.
