Salary negotiations when getting hired can feel awkward.
What do you ask for?
How do you present your needs without seeming greedy but also not undervalue yourself?
This sort of feeling is quite common.
Unfortunately, employers benefit from that sort of attitude and some can even use it against you.
In a way, this is what happened in this story.
The good thing is that the author wasnt going to let this unfairness slide.
He obeyed the rule change and turned the tables on the employer.
Read on to find out how.
No signed contract means that the employer can change the rules whenever they want.
This is definitely a mistake.
But employers can also be manipulative that way.
There are quite a few other ones that should raise your eyebrows when youre being interviewed.
For example, when the interviewer is badmouthing former or current employees.
It is an example of how you will be treated once you join the company.
Poor communication in general is a bad sign, too.
Also, be sure to check the online reviews of the company.
Thats both from their customers and employees as it will give you a full picture of what to expect.
All in all, look out for yourself and your needs.
No matter how charming the employer seems, they are out to make profit, not to accommodate you.
So fight for yourself, your work and efforts are valuable.
