Title is basically the story. I worked as a temp in a pretty niche field and busted my ass to learn as much as I can about the position so I can secure the job as I liked the job and the people I worked with.
Got brought into a meeting with my supervisor and great news! They want to hire me fully and bring me on as a team member.
Sounded great. It’s what I’ve been working for for 3 months so it was looking like my efforts are finally paying off.
Finally get the offer letter and they are offering me… $3/hr less than what I’m making as a temp? That doesn’t make sense.
I of course go to my supervisor about my concern and she goes “oh that was temp wage this is what we offer new employees”.
So within one week I would have a significant pay drop for doing the same job. What the fuck?
And of course I’m not guaranteed that they will meet my requirements and I will now need to renegotiate my salary but chances are they won’t budge.
Supervisor said she’d “try to fight for me since getting good help is so hard these days”
Maybe not try to fuck over your hard working employees? Because if that was the case you wouldn’t be doing this to me right now.
Hope it works out but I have absolutely no faith in executives making the right decisions for their workers.
