Sparky:
That's when you take 'em to court!
And you will get your money and then some! They do not have a legal leg to stand on! A verbal contract is almost as good as a written one in court and what the hell did they think you were doing it for; to suck up to them!? LOL!
I must say though that sometimes employers will spin the truth to let you think that they're getting screwed so you don't ask for that raise or expect a bonus or anything....(EC's are known to cry poor-mouth every now and again)....
