My friend just applied for a restaurant GM job and got a verbal offer. She tried to negotiate salary and they revoked their offer?!?! I’ve never heard of this? I thought negotiation was standard practice?! What is going on???

There's no rule about what's standard for negotiation. It may be traditional to negotiate, but if an organization says this is our offer they may not welcome or appreciate an attempt at negotiation. I've heard of places rescinding offers because they thought the person was being unserious.

Geesh. I mean if they don’t want to negotiate, then just say so? My friend is very professional so I was just very surprised. Anyway, I guess it’s an employer’s market so they can do as they wish.

Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?
