So ill start from the beginning. A few years ago i lost my front tooth, and couldnt afford to get a new one. Company i worked for, whos name i wont disclose, promised me they were going to pay for me to get a permanent tooth. I was so happy and so was my fiance. It was the nicest thing any company had ever done for me before, and i was very grateful for them. They made an appointment for me to go to their company dentist, and i got my date to get my bridge. Now a day before the appointment, they told me to cancle the appointment, because they wanted to try and find a better deal. This should have beem my first warning sign.
Two months went by, and they didnt tell me anything. Last month they laid me off, and during the comversation my supervisor assured me they were honoring the agreement to pay for my tooth. They told me they would be in touch. Well i went to a family friend and got the work done (for a discount also.) When i gave them the bill, they informed me that they had never intended to pay for my bill. They told me they had no idea who told me that (despite 4 mamagers proudly telling it to me) and said i had to pay for it myself.
So now here i am with a dental bill, because i trusted my employer. There is also nothing i can do about it, because it wasnt in writing and i cannot prove they promised to pay for it. So if your employer promises you a raise, to pay for something, or to do anything for you. Always, and i cannot stress this enough, always get it in writting.
