I was lowballed and sadly accepted the offer. At 15YoE relevant experience I was given 200K total, base + stock included. Salary difference with my colleagues range from 100k to even 200k a year. I wasn't informed before and I was in a position where I desperately needed the change. But now that I am informed, i feel really sad, i blame not only HR but my manager for being shrewd and taking advantage of me. I feel depressed and don't feel like working. Can I sue? Or report them somewhere?
Sorry to hear that, but there's not much you can do about that other than walking.
Nope you can't sue or anything else. Your only power to get more money is leverage. You had no leverage the first time because you were desperate. Maybe try interviewing elsewhere and get a higher offer ... but only do that if you're prepared to walk. PS: Comparison is the thief of joy. You were content until you learned others made more
I agree to your line about the thief of joy. My problem is they lied to my face, i feel cheated. They smooth talked me into it and gave the wrong picture about the entire org pay structure. I am okay earning less if it is an informed choice given, but cheated is what makes me upset.
😂😂😂 your not dying. Relax you have a job, now start interviewing. Your in the best possible position, you have a job. Always look at the people who have less then you.
When negotiating your salary, why would you think HR is trying to get you a great deal? Their goal is to pay as little as possible and still hire you.
Just leave. Wtf is up with sue!!
True enough
Wow if someone actually told u this when you were actually looking for the desperate job change I wonder wat u would have done
I wrote this before. I would have taken the offer or perhaps negotiated and made my peace. The feeling of being cheated into accwpting is what makes me upset
Sorry to hear that.. but it's Symantec, one of the seven sins in hell, right after greed and sloth.
What’s up with sloth hatred. Cute little buggers.
They were named after the sin? Some priest probably saw one and went full Holly cross lvl 65 on the poor animal.. Repent! They are cool mammals tho. The only one I know that has a symbiotic relation with an algae and does photosynthesis.
You know you are identifiable with this specific post, right? You’ve given so much more detail for the HR/Management to fingerprint you.
You r assuming he is the only guy that got trapped lol
Bloomberg and atlassian....no, Symantec was the company i was escaping from...it is a sinking ship
You ditch companies when there are tough times and you complain. You also get depressed easily. Why in the world do you deserve more than 200k?
LOL, just get competing offers and switch the job. It's your responsibility to negotiate for the the best possible compensation
Congrats! You win today’s “dick of the day” award.
It's just the truth. Companies dont give a shit about you
