• In this story, an employee was faced with disappointment almost as soon as they got settled into a new job. They told them that the lowest starting salary they would be able to accept was $58k, but the employer insisted that the highest they could pay would be $52k. They were disappointed, but felt like they had no choice but to accept it.

  Luckily for them, they received another job offer not long after that that was both remote and much better paid. When they informed their current boss that they would be leaving, she suddenly claimed that they would be able to pay the $58k that had been originally requested. Unfortunately for her, there was no contest.

• I got a better offer after starting a new job... and the old manager took it personally
