ugh, f*ck that, I don't understand. Yeah, 5k is really nothing and he could've just simply said, no, can't do it. He'd still take it and we'd be so much happier.
I'm so sick of this rollercoaster, I want off this crap ass ride.
My poor DH, he's trying everything and just keeps getting screwed.
Yeah DH had a prospective employer (who had already said they wanted to hire him and knew his salary requirement range) laugh in his face when he told her what the salary range their offer would have to be in to be competitive with another offer he got (which was slighly higher [like 5K] than the range he had given them previously). THEY LAUGHED AT HIM! Employers sure feel like they have the upper hand these days, it is so hard to know what to do when negotiating.
The joke will be on them though when they hire they cheaped out on sucks.
I will tell you a little story that might make you feel better. When MH was job hunting, he got 3 offers around the same time. The first one was way low b/c it was on a bonus type schedule [profit sharing, small company]. Anyway, we really thought he was going to have to take it, even though they would barely negotiate with him, but he went ahead and went to another interview the week before he had to let them know. Well he was offered that job, with great benefits, MUCH more $ and a whole host of other great things.
There is something out there for your husband and I hope he finds it soon and it's fantastic!

Re: yep, DH lost the job
I'm sorry, xbg! That's sucks. Seriously, I don't think an additional $5K would have broken the bank for those people.
I hope things turn around for you guys soon!!! xoxo

That stinks! I seriously feel like kicking ass lately, I feel that this asshat is the most appropriate candidate for me to take on.
