Offered a promotion where I countered for a higher rate and remote work. The firm reported that my counter offer was going to take weeks to discuss, but I wasn’t “asking for an arm”. Two weeks later they approved the initial offer without consent and against my written request to hold off until negotiations concluded. Now, I’m told that my actions have fractured the relationship

I am being criticized for my self respect to ask for my worth

The job search has been long but I am motivated

I think you have completely misunderstood how the hiring process works. Their approval of an offer has nothing to do with your approval. You can still counter. So, yes, I can see how now they would be upset with you. You should have simply stated your reservations again rather than erupted.

Act as if you’ve accepted the outcome and focus all of your energy on finding a new job. Any employer that resents you for advocating for yourself believes that they should hold all of the power in the relationship. Show them that they don’t by moving on to a better opportunity.
