“Bad news, we’ve had to eliminate the position that we were supposed to finalize your promotion to. Good news, your current position is still available and the prestige of your current role is now increased”
Not the money, not the title, bonus or anything, but oh the prestige.

I hope that when HR people try pulling this kind of stunt or a recruiter mentioning one salary level and the company paying less, they understand that it only speeds up our job search to leave the company

Honestly weeks after that my phone was ringing off the hook with +50% offers, higher bonus, promotion etc. but they were all at niche market meat grinders.

Had a friend take an offer, 3 months later on his ass. Colleagues friend took another I turned down, at 6 months he was fired for “underperforming” aka only growing market share by 70 not 100%

Hey all, started my role as a recruiter at an agency recently and had my first placement! It was great until the candidate wants to renegotiate the base and benefits after the current company counter-offered when the candidate no longer sees the future. Any tips on what to say to bring back to focus? The current role is a Sr. Acct Receivable (less than 2yr) and going into collections specialist at a global law firm.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing.
