This is why you get everything in writing, don't accept offers before you have the contract before your eyes, and UNIONIZE if you can. Spoken words are completely worthless. Who's going to be able to prove it? You certainly won't.
I was interviewing for a new job and one of my stipulations was a four day work week. They agreed verbally but didn't include it in their offer letter. I mentioned this and they got very defensive, almost aggressive. They had also mentioned working five days a week as I got trained up, the red flags were clear they were going to try and bait and switch me. Towards the end they said I had to trust them, well I simply told them I have zero reason to trust you, hence why I want it in writing.
