I believe it is likely to be legal. I would guess that your company needed to reduce its labor force. Once the reductions actually started, they had less incentive to pay as much. If you quit when the offer was a $92k lump sum and the offer was in writing, that's a different situation in which case you might want to contact someone specializing in labor law.
