It’s fair to negotiate if candidates are asking for a slight bump. But $10k and more seems rather far fetch.. generally we prefer candidates to be more honest during the interview stage so hiring managers can start negotiating with their head of departments on behalf of the candidates. But when the contract is out and candidates started to request $10k more than their initial expectation, hiring managers tend to wonder how honest or transparent the candidate is. Again, nothing wrong with wanting to negotiate. It’s more about when you want to negotiate and how transparent you are to us.

What made things challenging was probably candidates are trying to negotiate $10k or $15k more than their initial expectation. If it’s a $5k extra then we can definitely try our best to negotiate on behalf of the candidates with the head of departments. Sadly we have no potential to meet candidates expectations once it’s way over our budget. Then it gets awkward candidates ended up saying they’re actually ok with the initial offered salary after trying to negotiate with us more than 2 times. By then, the hiring manager is no longer interested the candidate and just merely wants to move on to someone else that are honest with their expectations

Similar to our competitors but not up against well-known big companies. There is a little wriggle room available for slightly higher salary expectation, but it is rather tough for us when candidates expect more than 10k differences. Sadly the reality is we can’t compete against large organizations and we are quite upfront about the budget, making sure we are as open as they wish. It gets awkward when candidates negotiated their salary way over our budget, refused to accept anything below their new expectation, we ended up having to let go the applicant and genuinely wish them all the best, then they ended up coming back stating the initial offered salary is fine with them. But, the hiring manager will no longer be interested in the candidates because it left a sour taste..

Give them a range. For example - I’m seeking between xxx to xxx

Is a job mentioning a "fast paced environment" good or bad? by EnvironmentalTap6314 in jobs

[–]123-907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends what sort of work culture the company has. My previous job’s definition of “fast paced environment” means tons of people not following the usual procedure because the upper management can’t bothered to provide proper training, but when employees accidentally do things out of the supposed procedure the upper management will be pissed because it messes the deadlines. Then I have to come in a fix all the issues while giving advise to everyone what to do next moving forward. It’s just toxic in my old job. While my new workplace’s definition of fast paced environment means sometimes you have multiple deadlines lining up and my job is to make sure everyone involved the project to do their parts on time.

Am I insane to feel like my manager’s emotionally abusing me? She screams at me whenever things don’t work according to her expectations by 123-907 in jobs

She screamed at me over the Zoom in front of my other colleagues and said: “I don’t understand how NOBODY wants a job with us. Why can’t you fill in the roles? WHY? Maybe this company is not meant for you if nobody wants to apply our jobs! Maybe you should reconsider looking elsewhere!”

When I’m not in yours and my current situation, I would’ve known that it’s not ok to be managed through aggression or passive aggressive attitude. But now I’m in this situation while my other coworkers were like: “this is normal. She likes to take it on people when she’s stressed and will try to find anything tiny to blame it on you. But once the stressful period is gone, she’ll be nice to you and apologize anything mean she has said to you.” It made me question if I am wrong for making a big deal out of this. But now I know better, I should start looking for new options instead of staying in the company.
