After seeing posted pay ranges, some workers are frustrated by what seem like low-ball salary offers. Recruiters say candidates are reading the numbers wrong.
job applicants have found the listed figures shrink once they reach the interview stage
Yup! This happened to me today in fact. The job listing lured me in promising $71 an hour plus full dental medical and vision coverage plus a $2,000 sign on bonus.
Last week I’m invited to an interview where he says my pay would be $25 an hour plus commissions. hmmm ok fine. whatever.
Today at the second stage of the interview process she told me it would be minimum wage. And she mentioned nothing about medical or signing bonus.
At least shout at them to say they can contact you again when their promised wage is exactly the same as the one stated on the listing, and not a cent less.

SCAM!
I’m more valuable than this. They can suck it.
I’d have walked out or left the video call in the middle of their sentence. Fuck that noise.

I’d expect considerably more to expect to deal with that kind of a workplace!
Sure, you probably won’t get it - but it’s not a place you want to be anyway.
Video call? Both interviews were in person.
I feel like slapping her in face would be appropriate and should be perfectly legal in this instance.
HOW CAN HE SLAP!?? Oh ok that’s justified
