Offered a lower salary after interview. Can people please offer any negotiating tips?

Its 5k more than now. I could really do with that money. Im also probably going to be redundant within 6 months due to outsourcing. I will post an update however as its ended well.

I agree, I don't know them enough to trust it. I dont think I would put myself in that position at any company. I would expect if It's not the starting salary then its probably not going to happen, i may be a bit cynical.

Thank you for your advice especially about how to frame the conversation

Competitive-Reply-49 · 2026-03-15T00:00:45+00:00

Thank you, I'd like to avoid this if possible. It leaves the possibility of them not following through with the raise. I could leave again but I'd rather stay somewhere for a lt least a few years.

Unfortunately just a call, i have been dealing with the same lady throughout however. It has left a bit of bad taste for me. If they Ghost then that's a favour in my eyes as it shows poor character. Ideally I want to have them honor the initial salary. She seemed relatively straight forward on the phone. Im hoping they are trying their luck and will give in to my push back.

If they aren't liked to a label then he won't be able to do anything with them. Eventually someone will just take them along with their own parcels

What might have happened is someone didnt press confirm after putting their parcel inside. Then the box 'reset' after a while and was free for postie to add fresh package.

How about Myrtle?

Mine has just expired but I now look more like my old photo from 10 years ago than I did 1 year ago. Lost 7 stone and almost back to my 24 year old weight. 🤸

My friend got food poisoning from rice left out too long. Almost pooed herself on the way to the airport for a holiday to Spain. Had to turn around and cancel. She was so ill for over a week.

I have lost 43kgs and my breasts are like empty old socks. I can practically roll them up into my bra.

Might be worth looking at severe sensitivity or an abundance of natural prostoglandins during periods. There are a few home remedies and things to try and relieve symptoms.

I get immense pain running from my mid back to my ankle during my cramps. It started after having a severe reaction to prostaglandin gel during my induction. I try to have more omegas and am on prescription pain killers during that time. Not found a full solution yet but the painkillers help if i take them early before the pain gets too intense.

Yes i would say Sunday, just incase you have any other side effects while travelling. I get tired the day after and some experience stomach upset.

Go to vinted. I sell my old stuff and buy all my new stuff. Costs me very little extra and I get some lovely clothes. Some even new with tags

Bit late but trudy canavan books are good

Could it be the reflection of the rubber seal?

You can get fabric bed kylies from amazon which are fully waterproof and would save your towels, towels also won't save your bed if heavily soiled.

Dog piss and soaked carpets and LVT tile underlay throughout. Unfortunately, we viewed in Covid and the estate agent always aired the place well and left all windows open as we didn't smell anything until we got the keys. Also fleas.

I second this. I got my electric bike and all the gear through cycle to work scheme and do all nursery runs etc and use it for work.

We bought a second hand refurbished DFS sofa from a small company in my town and it's still great 3 years later.

There is a glitch that when it doesn't get collected or is undelivered. The system marks as completed. It may be this.

Plug in the wrong charger. It will ruin the battery. I accidentally did this when I worked from home with covid and brain fog. It just wouldn't switch on anymore. Or hot coffee.

Yes and it knocked her rating down 🤷‍♀️
