Anyone else in a position responsible for hiring giving people more than they ask for? I know the typical rates of what people in my industry generally expect, and I also know what my boss is willing to pay.

I applied for a photographer job, first interview was last Thursday with the company’s main supervisor for the state, with the regional supervisor having missed the call. Reg. Super emails next day to set up second interview. I respond quickly with a timeframe, no response. Tuesday I’m at an appointment when they email me they’d like to do the interview at 4. Time of email came in at 3:06pm. I wasn’t available until after 5, when I saw the email. I respond that Wednesday or Thursday at 4 works. They reply “4pm Wednesday, I’ll send you the link.” Great! After having no link sent by 4:20 or so Wednesday, I email. I get a response two…

Keep calm and carry on (working!)
I'm not going to risk my bladder for their corporate greed
