Sounds like an opportunity of a life time! However, keep in mind, verbal promises are often times forgotten. My family was a product of a "Verbal" arrangement and ended up in the Mid-West; far away from both friends and family alike. Things seemed fine at first and then as time went by, things that were promised BEFORE the relocation were miraculously overlooked and/or forgotten. Well, that was a hard lesson learned! Three years and a new job later, we're back on the East Coast where we feel we should be with the difference being a little thing called a "Relocation Package Agreement" - Whereas ALL things promised and agreed upon by the Company and Employee are in writing. It protects both parties from those "Verbal Agreements" being distorted or even worse...Forgotten down the line. I wish you and your family the best of luck! |
