I told you Sir, It was my first job change.
I did not knew the tricks of the trade.
Yes, I have myself to blame because I trusted the people involved in hiring from one of the top 5 tech companies in the world. Id did not occur to me that I am being played upon.
However, If you had noticed, I mentioned I argued with hiring team [ PM, director, recruiter] IN WRITING BEFORE JOINING THE COMPANY. I still have those emails. As a response to those they used to call on phone, NOT reply in writing. It was evident to me that they are calling back because they have read the emails. I forgot to take the same thing in writing, because I trusted them.
So, Yes I joined them because of verbal promises, but the emails do exist still, in my mailbox, where I have asked them in band pay, before joining.
Initially when I approached the company's authorities they said " I am making this stuff up", but when I showed them emails from my mailbox, they switched to "since you do not have replies, ... .. .. you do not stand a case"
In 2015, I got a call from Oracle India and interviews were arranged and I got hired into Oracle India. It was my first job change.
Before to that, I used to work as a contractor for one of the US companies via one of the services company in India.
Oracle offered me way less than what they are offering to other engineers in the same BU, for the same value generated.
Reason Oracle told me that, since I am coming from a lower salary band, Oracle is still giving a reasonable high pay hike.
I argued back IN WRITING that still it is way less than ( lesser than 1/3) of Oracle generally pays.
Oracle said to me, Ok, we will raise your salary in the first pay review which happens. I asked clearly and concisely, what they mean by review, they said you will be in the band.
I left Oracle in 2018.
They never met their promise. Few of my financial aspirations were burned down, trauma different.
During all the time at Oracle,
I knocked many doors, all of them simply said "Oracle never committed in writing, a phone call means there is a miscommunication ", hence I do not stand a case.
It is not Indian Director which simply reneged from the bargain, it was the US director, US legal team, which simply reneged.
Escalating to Safra's office also did not help.
Oracle is full with corrupt directors who simply trick Oracle's own rules to cheat the potential hires and trick them to get a lower paying offer.
This was done my director of SW dev in US but I was an India employee.
