Golden Hello not honoured

If a shop advertises some price in an advert I believe they have to honour it. Though I suppose they just have to say they sold out or something like that.
Definitely worth finding out more I would have said, and take it from there. Even if all you do is go and embarass the clod in HR who wrote it in the first place, and get them a wrapping on the knuckles from the advertising standards bods.I'm alright JackComment

It's an invitation to treat, rather than an offer for sale.
They aren't allowed to deliberately mislead, but if there is a mistake then it's a mistake.Comment

It's public sector, so:
1. the boss won't give a toss whether she chases it up further,
2. she should talk to her union rep.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

The missus has to recruit for this type of work.
Believe me, if your partner is any good, the boss will cling to her like sh!t to a blanket, no matter how much trouble she causes with HR.
I have at least an hour a night on the state of the employees and the latest wheezes that they get up to. Last night , I learned that 'Happy' ( yes, thats the ladies name) has announced that her religious duties meant she could now only work nights, even though she is contracted to work days, and there is no night work.
Plus she doesnt like to work for the asian family, because they , er, stink. And the Asian family dont want her, because she is a VERY devout Christian
it never ends

Agreed she should follow it up with HR and/or the union. There are no doubt others in the same boat. Strange "mistake" though... you don't bandy about £1600 sign-on bonuses for the hell of it.
If it was a mistake, the organisation should have issued a correction and/or clarified this when they made the offer of employment.
Or was it one of those ads on the tube where you have to type in a special URL?Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.Comment
