This is crazy. 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 do you think of this?

What?? Did she ask for a $2M salary and a private helicopter or something? I've never heard of this happening to anyone I know or had it to me personally. I've had my requests denied before, sure, but never had an offered pulled just because I asked for a higher salary. I figured every company expected you to negotiate, but that's clearly not the case..

She asked for 12k more annually and 4 weeks of pto rather than the 3 they offered.

Unfortunately, I have heard of this happening quite a few times this year. It's a result of the job market being so heavily in favor of employers. If their candidate won't take what is offered, there are another 10 candidates who are just as experienced ready to accept whatever they are offered.

Sadly that seems to be the case. It’s crazy how companies can pay so little and yet the economy is crazy. Capitalism is destroying our society.

I've heard of companies rescinding offers, but I've always assumed it was a pretty rare situation. Generally speaking, for a company to rescind an offer it's because someone has offended them by asking for something unserious. Or perhaps the restaurant just has a policy of not negotiating and just bringing it up angered them.

12k more and four weeks of pro rather than three seems reasonable for her background and skillset. I guess not to them.

Crazy!

When an organization is not adequately staffed, be sure increase the number of meetings to address how to allocate people. Forcing negotiations at multiple org levels around the same decisions will ensure everyone is totally aligned.

This accomplishes three things:
1) Everyone is mad at each other since they’re competing for people
2) They’re confused and not able to pay attention to the root issue of chronic under staffing
3) They’re distracted from blaming mgmt for the root cause.

Hi All! Going through previous posts, I can see it is hard to get a comment/connection in this particular bowl. Reasonably so, as the field in itself is so hectic that professionals are usually busy. Anyway, I’m looking for a job switch and want to get into IB for an MNC. If there’s anyone who has any open position in their team, I’ll be grateful if you can refer me. Thanks in anticipation!
