I was considering and was considering for another job, but in the end they went with another candidate. The major downside with it would be the 6+ months of car commuting until the trial employment ended and I was stable enough there to make a move. 6+ months of 35minutes in the car each way... Would have been an awesome job though.
One thing I've learned from 25 years of work experience is to never get paid in promises. Sure, they maybe backed up the offer in writing, but six months is a long time for you to make good on a commitment for them to have a 'restructure' that somehow prevents them from making good on theirs.
I hope you found something else more awesome since then!
Not op but at least in Sweden we often get 6 months trial employment and after that they are honestly kind of stuck with us (cannot really fire us unless very specific things happen). So you can actually get some better conditions as they do want you to do the job and can not just replace you. If all fails you can also get help from the union.
I'm guessing you're not from the US?
