The Sr. VP (an Iranian) of the another firm approached my husband for a talk on the new project it won. This man used to work with him on some projects in the past. A scheduled was made. That day, that Sr. VP offered him a job on the spot. Actually, a position was created for him. His role was the main system architect for this massive project.
Unfortunately, my husband did not report to that Sr. VP directly, but to another VP (a white American). The whole year, he met his boss twice: the first day and the day of the annual appraisal. The boss was very pleased with his performance as he said. When came to the annual bonus (in five digits amount), he received nothing but a $300 gift certificate at a shopping mall. Other staff received bonus except him! The reason was that he joined the company after 31 January of that year. He came on board mid February. My husband did not back down; a list of achievements, among many were 3 ideas possible for patents, together with the binding contract were presented to his boss. The hiring contract states that he will be eligible for the annual bonus program of the year he joined. The boss simply disregarded both his performance and the contract. Concerning the contract, the boss gave an excuse of a typo error. Honestly, I find this lame excuse is an insult to our intelligence.
The VP of Human Resource approached my husband stating that though there is a binding contract, but its against the company policy to offer bonus to a staff who joins after 31-Jan. She would have to escalate to the CEO and blah
blah. Bottom line, they will not honor the contract. She did not flat out refuse not to consider; she would see what could be done. This is an old trick I experienced before, giving a false hope (brinkmanship).
A manager at my company HR dept. suggested a lawsuit. As she and my colleagues put it, were my husband to be white, this sort of bull sh
would have not happened. I agreed.
Months later nothing came through. When a better opportunity presented, he without hesitation seized that opportunity. When the resignation was submitted, his boss was obviously shocked. He promised to take action, but it was too little too late. Beside, he could not match the offer (compensation, benefits and other perks) my husband receives from the new firm. Per your inquiry on coping with this issue, I suggest to know your self-worth that you are as a human as everyone else. Never let anyone make you feel otherwise. Deal with the issue head on, yet with calmness and firmness. Dont get mad, but get even like my husband did.
Best of luck to your to-be endeavor.
