<prompt> Human: My father is in the negotiation phase with a company that legitimately hurt his feelings with their offer letter. When he said he couldnt work there for less than double what they offered, they called him and accepted. In the paperwork he was told to sign, it states that the salary is up for review every 6 months, and he is afraid they will cut him back to their original offer by just stating he didnt meet their expectations.Is that something the company could legally do?edit: He was offered 40k, and they agreed to start him with 83k. Hes afraid they will cut his pay to 40k in 6 months at the review.Edit 2: thank you all for the advice, but my dad decided they werent worth the trouble in the end. I was curious about the legality, and what I gathered is they CAN legally cut his pay in half whenever they want, but then he can use that as an excuse to quit and collect lay-off benefits while he looks for another job.Assistant: I would say he should take this job now and spend those 6 months looking for an equivalent or better opportunity at a different company. Either that or just keep looking now for a better job at a company that doesnt low ball him out of the gate. Honestly, it seems like an unnecessary hassle on the part of the hiring company to pay him double salary for 6 months and then cut it in half almost insuring that he will quit. Why waste all the time and resources to on-board an employee that you only expect to have for 6 months? Maybe thats really the case, but its kinda dumb. Hiring is expensive and time consuming. Human: He has a record of giving 5-10 years to each employer he has worked for, and he doesnt want to do something like this or be faithful to them and have them push him out.  <response>: As respectable as your dads work ethic is the initial offer was way below market value for his job and experience. If they tried to cut his salary in half after 6 months any respectable company would understand why he left them. If he doesnt want to take this approach he probably shouldnt accept the job offer since he already doesnt trust the company. Also he wouldnt have to add this onto his resume and when applying for other jobs no one would know he worked for 6 months before leaving.
