False promises

Anyone ever work at a company that said you can use $20 a day for lunch, then you rack up three months worth of lunch, and one day they just say that was all a lie and you're sitting there $1000 in the hole? Yeah well a company called Lacework just did that.

Hahaha I mean it was 20 bucks max. I wouldn’t spend that every day. It’s about the principle man… principle

That sucks but lesson learned. If it’s not in writing it’s not real.

This seems like Glassdoor material. Make sure other people don't have the same experience.

Yeah this is something I’d always ask for in writing before starting to take advantage of it. 

One of the things I always caution my reps is that recruiters / managers will pretty much tell you anything you want to hear to get you to switch companies but none of that matters unless it’s in writing.

Rule #1 get everything in writing. At least put intik a mail and let them confirm.
