<prompt> Human: Hello!I am a new graduate who is hoping to advance my career in medicine currently applying to schools. Because of this, I am temporarily working in a hospital as a Nurse Tech. I recently interviewed and accepted a position in our Emergency Department under the same title.I received an offer via email and accepted. HR lady responded with I am going to consider your email as formal acceptance of the position. Now, after emailing her again, she responds saying: I will need to revisit the pay amount that I originally offered you for the position and get back to you, it looks like based on your experience that it will not be the original offer amount.Am I SOL? I havent signed any official documentation but we have both acknowledged my acceptance of the position. This has been a headache. Any help is appreciated as I am a little upset and confused at the moment. In total, this would likely decrease my yearly salary by 8000year.Assistant: Technically they can do this, although its in poor taste to do so. Theres not a lot you can do, since you havent signed anything, unless youre willing to apply to work at another hospital.Human: Thats disheartening. The lady has been extremely unprofessional throughout the whole process. Thank you for the help.Assistant: Take that as a sign. I would talk to her supervisor. Human: The lady is contracted through the HR company. The hospital itself is fantastic! However, my experience with this employee has been less than stellar.  <response>: I work in a hospital, often we are locked in with agencies via contract. The crummy agency probably wont have their contract renewed with the hospital if they lose the chosen candidate over the agencys actions. I absolutely recommend talking with your potential new boss directly. Explain what is happening. Your boss is the boss of that agency worker. They will be ticked off that the agencys actions will lose them their chosen candidate.Do not take the position for less than the original offered amount. Your raises will not exceed the cost of living with a hospital system. You dont want to lose that 8k, you wont get it back ever. Your interaction with the agency employee needs to stop and people above them need to resolve the issue.
