    Meanwhile if they verbally promise you a raise and don’t give it to you there’s jack shit you can do because verbal agreements aren’t enforcable when it’s convenient for them.

      Which is sane. So anyway…

      Sorry, gotta go. That’s my employer calling to verbally offer me a raise.

      (Over here laughing imagining all the people suing because, “I swear he offered me a raise! Nah, for real!”)

        In many countries verbal contracts can still be binding under certain circumstances. Just hard to prove, so yeah, get it in writing or it doesn’t mean much
