If someone tells you one thing, you don't get it in writing and you turn up and find it is different you quit (or find another job) because at that point any trust is lost and it is pointless carrying on.
Employment contracts can be changed and there is normally fuck all you can do about it.
You can not accept it. I've done that. The exec weren't happy. I continued to work under my old contract.

You can not accept it.
Exactly. I was once presented with a new contract which increased my notice period to 6mths from 3mths.
“I won’t be signing that”
“Oh! But we would owe you 6mths notice as well”
“Still no”
“How about a meagre pay rise, but only if you accept 6mths notice period?”
“Still still no”
“*surprisedpikachu*”I ended up resigning 2 years later for a job that wouldn’t have waited 6 months for me to start. Which is what the whole exercise was designed to prevent.

It's not though is it.
If someone says, "we're pretty relaxed and measure you on performance" and then you start and they're fucking militant and don't let you leave unless it's in your lunch break or for an external meeting then that's not reasonable.
If you're told upfront that you need to be work contactable pretty much all the time to jump advise on deals or be expected to attend calls on the West Coast then you know that, and expect it.
Employment contracts can be changed and there is normally fuck all you can do about it. It doesn't stop it being a dick move or preventing you pushing back.
