Bitter Recruiter Accuses Applicant of Applying for Jobs Solely to Negotiate a Pay-Raise at their Current Job

One of the hardest parts about having a job is figuring out how to get more money. Some jobs make getting a raise a piece of cake, but those positions are few and far between. For the majority of places, you either have to ask nicely for more money, get a whole new job, or get your current employer price match a counteroffer in order to get more money. While the latter is not ideal, if you like your job, it's better than leaving a place you like for an uncertain future. This is a common practice and by no means out of the ordinary, which is why it's weird that one Reddit user got chewed out for doing it. A recruiter got very upset when an applicant rejected her job offer and accused him of doing something that he was very obviously doing. She was clearly just bitter that she didn't get a commission.
