So a job posting on indeed was showing pay rate was 18.00$ – 20.00$ hourly. I applied, had a phone interview and we did not discuss pay, I figured it was 18 – 20 which I found fair for the job. I haven’t interviewed for a job in over 5 years and the labor market and whatnot has changed so much. Anyways, I got the job offer and it says 16.00$! I looked back at the listing and it says 15-18$, after they had 50 applications. I know I’m not tripping, they definitely changed the pay rate.
Is this a thing? Is this a tactic to get applicants, like a bait and switch thing? Has anyone else seen this?
Also what do y’all think about me asking the guy who hired me?! Like would that be getting fired before I even start?!!
