An employee reportedly lost a ₹26 lakh per annum job offer after accepting a verbal promise of a salary increase from their current employer, who then reneged on the offer. The employee, initially earning ₹15 lakh, stayed with their company based on this assurance, rejecting the external offer due to proximity to their native place. Subsequently, management stated no revision would be given, highlighting a cautionary tale about the importance of documented agreements over verbal assurances in corporate settings.
