This applies to anything. Never trust someone's word until it gets written down and signed

Actively distrust the company you're working for. They will f* you over if you stop being useful to them. Always look up for yourself, and do what's right for you, never the company. You're not the owner and will never be.

Don't learn this the hard way.

And even if the guy/gal that is now in charge is nice, they may be hit by a bus or get fired in a takeover or the company sold to a company with evil lawyers.

Also there may be huge differences between what the company "said" and what you heard/remember.

"An oral contract isn't worth the paper it's written on."
