So I was on the job market like a month and a half ago. I applied to a very specific Management position at a well known company within the area. The interview went well. They came back with an offer.
They came back and offered me a lower titled position (non-management) around the 55K range. This was about 7K less than I was making at my current company and clearly a lowball offer. However, I was desperate to get out of my current company and I was still interviewing with other companies so I figured it could be a backup plan if I didn’t receive any other offers. I accepted their offer.
About a week before my proposed start date, I received another offer for over 90K at another company I had been interviewing with before the lowball company. I immediately rescinded my acceptance of an offer from the lowballing company and accepted my new offer with the new company. Duh.
Anyways, ever since then, lowball company has been lurking my LI to try to figure out where I ended up at. Every week I’ve received a notification that tells me they’ve looked. I never even worked for the lowball company! It’s been a couple of weeks, you think they’d move on by now, but maybe they haven’t found anyone else to accept their lowball salary.
