I interviewed for a promotion and got the position. They offered me $29 and I countered with $30. They accepted and I signed. Now a week later I'm told that the best they can do is 28.50.
I would have been disappointed if they had come back and said they could only do the original offer. To come back with a LOWER amount is just fucking insulting. If I knew I could get something better right away I would've been tempted to quit on the spot.
The fact that my health insurance, which I need, is tied to my fucking job just adds even more anger to this situation.
