(1986) I did not know that. I did know that if I said anything, it would of course be my word against the HR person's, since of course there was no record of any such conversation and he could lie his ass off. There were no cell phones to record such conversations in those days, either. And as I said, I was too intimidated, or perhaps too naive, to ask any of the other new hires if they'd been told the same thing. I'm much smarter now.
