<prompt> Human: I started this job this week. Its the most reputable retail company Ive ever worked for 5 bil annual rev. My interview process took months and it was originally for a Senior position. At the end of the process they said it would not be a Senior role anymore and over the phone mentioned that it might not have the bonus potential. I had to decide between my Director level role at a small company or an Associate level role at a huge company. When they sent the offer letter it contained a 10 bonus section. I accepted the job and started this week. Now theyre saying they sent me the Senior - level offer, not the associate one. Its exactly the same sans bonus section. I dont want to ruin my reputation at the company as being greedy, but I dont want to feel cheated out of a potential 8,500. The only person at the company that is aware is the HR Manager at this location. Should I ask my boss for advice?Should I accept that I lost the bonus?I quit my job where I was very happy for this role, and for the salary. I dont know what to do.  <response>: Wow, that kinda blows. I cant say much for the personal finance side of things, but this sounds a lot like promissory estoppel. You may want to stop by rlegaladvice or get a consultation with a lawyer, if you relied on the promise of a bonus when you took the job and can prove it then youre probably entitled to receive said bonus. Best of luck, dont let them screw you over. It was their mistake if they sent you the incorrect offer, not yours.
