Do you see candidates who are rigid about how much they want to make as troublemakers or as people with a sense of self-worth? I've never had it go well when I stand strong on what I want, but something tells me I need to commit to this stance. Am I right?

I have always seen that as a good thing and a candidate that knows their worth. At some point, you have to respect it. It just sucks to lose a good candidate when we don't have the budget for what they want. I don't think it makes them a troublemaker at all.

I tend to agree with this viewpoint!

I wouldn’t call it troublemaking! Knowing your worth is a good thing as long as you stay open to conversation rather than ultimatums.

If standing firm on what I want is seen as troublemaking, then maybe I’m okay with that. To me, it’s not about being difficult, it’s about knowing my worth and valuing the work I bring to the table.

Has anyone been through a situation that you were in a terrible relationship ( stress,anger, fights, swears, physical abuse, ego clashes) and how did you resolve it?

Me and my partner have strong feelings for eachother and are almost inseparable despite going through so much.
