I am currently in the processes of job hunting and got a job offer that is currently lower than I’m making now, not significantly but that lower pay is offset by working less hours, more paid time off and a way less stressful job environment. I am planning on telling the hire ups that I have a job offer and am curious how much they’d pay me to make me stay. Is it unethical to tell them the job offer is for much higher than it actually is. I mean on one hand, fuck em for paying me so low but on the other hand what if they ask for proof?
