If you think you’re being low balled then refuse the offer and more power to you.

The problem is that they’re wasting the unemployed and jobseekers time and money, and depriving them of employment opportunities they actually want — sometimes dozens of hours, and hundreds of dollars per person.

Let’s not act like false advertising of job offers is anything but a crime that exploits the most economically vulnerable people… mkay

Actually, I don’t know if you’ve done hiring before but to get to an interview the company has already spent a decent chunk of change on vetting and review. Refusing an offer at the last minute definitely sucks for the employer.

Yeah, definitely.

Had a low-balled offer once, and since I didn’t have an other offer, I signed. It was still better then the wage I had at the time.

But I kept searching, and finally found a company that did pay me what I wanted.

So when it was about time for me to go work at the new job, I said I quit. They were waiting on me for 10 weeks. Felt really good.

Told them the reason was the wage, if they didn’t try to pay me less then what I was asking, I wouldn’t have been searching in the first place.

They only have themselves to blame.

That’s how we all got raises at my last job. Nobody cared to do QC and they needed QC. Me and like 3 of my friends there all said no so they offered raises for the position! Literally saying no was how we bumped our pay!

I’m in a much better place now.
