The offer inherits another job
A polished offer can carry promises from the wrong role. In this fictional scene, Otto copies an earlier template into a new offer draft. Ollie spots a remote-work arrangement and reporting line from another team. The current panel discussed neither term, but the finished document makes both look like settled parts of the job.
Why it looked good
Reusing a complete template saves time. Familiar formatting makes inherited terms easy to miss.
Q1 · What is this really for?
What role and working arrangement is this offer supposed to describe, and which terms belong to another job?
Q2 · Who decides, and did they?
Who confirms the role details before the offer goes out, and have they checked these terms?
The next move
Ollie marks the inherited terms for confirmation and asks Casey to get the current role owner to review the draft before it is sent.
